Abstract: The present invention relates to a pouch type case having trimming portions formed on both sides or four corners thereof and a battery pack including the same. The trimming portions are formed on the corners of the pouch type case such that the trimming portions are indented toward an electrode assembly accommodating part to reduce a unit area so as to increase pressure applied to unit cells when a battery pack is assembled, thereby facilitating assembling of the battery pack and increasing cell capacity per unit area. Furthermore, the unit cells can be fixed in the battery pack more stably. The pouch type case reduces the unit area so as to include a relatively large number of cells for pressure applied to the cells when the battery pack is assembled to thereby increase the cell capacity.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a lithium ion polymer battery is provided in which in injecting electrolyte into a lithium ion polymer battery, the battery cell is immersed in an electrolyte impregnation bath to allow the electrolyte to be impregnated into the cell. The electrolyte can be impregnated simultaneously, and as the battery cell is activated, the electrolyte is settled down in the interior of the battery cell. Thus, when the battery cell is sealed, a phenomenon that the electrolyte is present at the sealed portion can be prevented.
