Abstract: The present invention provides a new-type Ni-MH power battery, which includes a battery vent cap 1, a metal can 2, a positive electrode current collector 3 and a negative electrode current collector 4 inside the can 2, and an electrode assembly 5 generally formed by winding a positive electrode plate 10, a separator 7, and a negative electrode plate 11 having a copper mesh as a substrate. The upper and lower surface of the positive electrode current collector 3 are connected to the lower surface of the battery vent cap 1 and a positive electrode 6 of the electrode assembly 5 via welding spots 8 respectively. The lower surface of the negative electrode current collector 4 is connected to the inner surface of the can 2 via multiple welding spots 8. The upper surface of the negative electrode current collector 4 contacts a negative electrode 9 of the electrode assembly via a layer of metal foam conductor 12, in which the negative electrode 9 is embedded in the metal foam conductor 12.
