  • Patent number: 9190633
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a pouch type lithium secondary battery. The pouch type lithium secondary battery according to the present invention may comprise an electrode assembly including a positive electrode, a separator and a negative electrode, and a pouch having a groove for receiving the electrode assembly and upper and lower portions of which are fused to each other around the groove to form flange-shaped edges. In particular, the edges may be at least partially covered at ends thereof with insulating material. As a result, a short circuit between a metal foil of the pouch and the negative electrode of the battery can be prevented, and corrosion of the battery may be also prevented.

  • Patent number: 7655352
    Abstract: A battery pack case adapted to enclose a protective circuit module and a bare cell includes at least one small opening arranged on a side to expose an external terminal of the protective circuit module and a large opening arranged in the opposite direction to the small opening to expose a surface of the bare cell. Since a bare cell and a protective circuit module are contained within an integral case, the bare cell is prevented from escaping out of the protective circuit module and no separate resin is necessary to fill the gap between the bare cell and the protective circuit module. In addition, the battery pack case has gates, through which a resin is injected, which are properly arrayed in such a manner during resin injection that the case has no unshaped part.

  • Publication number: 20060071637
    Abstract: A battery pack having no need to fill a gap between a bare cell and a protective circuit module includes a safety vent adapted to properly function even after molding has been completed and a PTC thermistor having characteristics which do not degrade during manufacturing processes. A bare cell, which has a protective circuit module and a PTC thermistor mounted thereon, is enclosed by an integral case. An exposed area of the case is covered with a resin. A lead is positioned on a safety vent formed on the bare cell to prevent the safety vent from being fractured by a resin of a high temperature and pressure during a resin filling process. The resin does not reach the protective circuit module and the PTC thermistor so that its heat is not transmitted to them.
