Abstract: A welding assembly for a liquid-injection hole of a secondary battery, including a top cover of a case, a liquid-injection hole, a sealing cover-plate and a stress release structure, wherein the liquid-injection hole is disposed in the top cover and includes a assembling recess and a through-hole arranged sequentially from top to bottom of the top cover, the assembling recess and the through-hole present a stepped transition and the radial dimension of the assembling recess is larger than that of the through-hole. The sealing cover-plate is accommodated in the assembling recess and the stress release structure is provided at one or both sides of the welding portion and capable of releasing stress from the welding portion. The welding assembly provides a stress release structure nearby the welding portion, and when the welding portion is full-strength welded, the stress-release structure can effectively release stress nearby the welding seam.

Abstract: A secondary battery has an electrode plate, including a current collector, an active material layer and a conductive structure. The current collector includes an insulating layer, first and second conductive layers, and the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are respectively arranged onto two surfaces of the insulating layer. The first conductive layer has a first body section with a first protruding section connected thereto. The second conductive layer has a second body section with a second protruding section connected thereto. The conductive structure includes a first conductive member connected to the first protruding section and a second conductive member connected to the second protruding section. The second conductive member is bent towards the first conductive member and connected to the first conductive member, and the first conductive member extends away from the active material layer and is beyond the second conductive member.
