  • Patent number: 9502696
    Abstract: A terminal-cover assembly for a secondary battery comprises a cover and at least two terminal assemblies. The cover is arranged on one side of the battery housing and has several through-holes where two terminal assemblies are installed. Each terminal assembly has an electric-conduction terminal penetrating the through-hole. The electric-conduction terminal has an installation member at one end thereof and at least one fixing element with a female thread. A fastening element with a male thread is inserted through the installation member and engaged with the female thread of the fixing element. The fixing element and fastening element are made of an identical material. Thereby, the fastening element and the fixing element can cooperate with electric-conduction plates to cascade secondary batteries to form a battery assembly, neither damaged by hardness difference nor loosened by different extents of deformations resulting from different thermal expansion coefficients.

  • Publication number: 20160211496
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a secondary battery assembly with enhanced protection, which comprises a battery assembly whose two sides respectively have two electric conduction members each electrically connected with a lead; a casing having an accommodation space accommodating said battery assembly; and a protection layer into said casing fully to wrap said battery assembly. The secondary battery assembly is electrically connected with and supplies power to external devices through the leads. The protection layer is in a solid state at an ambient temperature and melts into a liquid state at a high temperature. The protection layer isolates the battery assembly from the external environment and absorbs and conducts heat generated by the battery assembly efficiently. Therefore, the present invention can prevent the overheated battery assembly from reacting with oxygen and exempt the battery assembly from combustion and explosion.

  • Publication number: 20070048603
    Abstract: A low resistance lithium battery set includes a chassis, and lithium batteries. A collector board is disposed in the chassis, which includes many insertion holes for connecting with the electrodes of lithium batteries. The electrodes of the batteries are penetrated through the insertion holes and then folded to connect with each other. The power output of the lithium batteries is then delivered through the contact points of the collector board. The output of the battery set is thus adjustable by changing the connection of battery electrodes. Therefore, the battery set can be used in a variety of electronic devices.
