Abstract: A secondary battery that can easily adjust power by disposing a plurality of jelly-rolls for the secondary battery in a case and connecting electrodes of the jelly-rolls in either electrical series or in electrical parallel, with corresponding welds. The secondary battery is constructed with a plurality of jelly-rolls each having a first electrode tab and a second electrode tab protruding from the jelly-roll, a case having an opening accommodating insertion of the jelly-rolls, and a cap plate sealing the opening of the case and bearing electrode terminals on a bottom side of the cap plate facing the jelly-rolls. The first electrode tabs protruding from the jelly-rolls are electrically connected to the electrode terminals and the second electrode tabs protruding from the jelly-rolls are electrically connected to the cap plate.

Abstract: An insulating case for a secondary battery includes a main body and a support projecting upward from an edge of the main body such that an internal angle between the support and the main body is an obtuse angle. Further, a secondary battery including an electrode assembly, a can housing the electrode assembly, the can having an opening, a cap assembly covering the opening of the can, and an insulating case on the electrode assembly, the insulating case including a main body and a support projecting upward from an edge of the main body, wherein an internal angle between the support and the main body is an obtuse angle.
