  • Patent number: 12689103
    Abstract: This disclosure pertains to the technical fields of batteries, and provides a battery cell, a battery, and an electric device. The electric device includes a battery, the battery includes a battery cell, and the battery cell includes a casing, an electrode assembly, an electrode terminal, an adapter, and an insulating member. The electrode assembly is disposed within the casing. The adapter is disposed within the casing and conductively connected to the electrode assembly and the electrode terminal. The insulating member is disposed within the casing and at least partially located between the adapter and the casing, and at least a portion of the insulating member is spaced apart from the adapter. Spacing at least the portion of the insulating member apart from the adapter can mitigate the problem that heat from the adapter being conducted to the insulating member causes failure of insulation performance of the insulating member.
