Abstract

A battery and a battery manufacturing method are provided. The battery includes a battery casing, a cell, a first insulating film, and a second insulating film. The cell is disposed in the battery casing and includes a cell body and a tab portion, and the tab portion extends from a side surface of the cell body. The first insulating film covers at least a portion of the cell body. The second insulating film is independent from the first insulating film. The second insulating film covers an upper surface of the first insulating film and covers at least a portion of the tab portion, and the first insulating film is located between the cell body and the second insulating film.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A battery, comprising:
a battery casing; a cell, disposed in the battery casing and including a cell body and a tab portion, wherein the tab portion extends from a side surface of the cell body; a first insulating film, covering at least a portion of the cell body; and a second insulating film, independent from the first insulating film, wherein the second insulating film covers an upper surface of the first insulating film and covers at least a portion of the tab portion, and the first insulating film is located between the cell body and the second insulating film, wherein the first insulating film comprises a first end and a second end opposite to each other, and the second insulating film is connected to the first end and the second end, wherein the second insulating film comprises a first segment and a second segment, the first segment is connected to the first end and the second end, and the second segment is connected to the first segment and covers the tab portion, wherein the second segment further covers a surface of the cell body that is not covered by the first insulating film and the first segment, wherein the cell body comprises two first surfaces opposite to each other and four second surfaces surrounding the first surfaces, and an area of each of the first surfaces is greater than an area of each of the second surfaces, wherein the first insulating film, the first segment, and the second segment cover a same one of the first surfaces.

2 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the second insulating film is partially adhered to a surface of the first insulating film away from the cell body, and is partially adhered to a surface of the cell body that is not covered by the first insulating film.

3 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein a gap is formed between the first end and the second end to expose a portion of the cell body, and the second insulating film covers the gap.

4 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the second segment and the first segment are integrally formed.

5 . The battery according to claim 4 , wherein in a length direction of the cell body, the first segment extends from one end of the first insulating film to another end of the first insulating film.

6 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the battery further comprises third insulating films, and each of the third insulating films covers one of the first surfaces and adjacent two of the second surfaces.

7 . The battery according to claim 6 , wherein the first insulating film covers a portion of each of the third insulating films, and the second insulating film is adhered to a surface of the first insulating film covering the first surface.

8 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the second insulating film is provided with an adhesive layer, and the second insulating film is bonded to the first insulating film.

9 . The battery according to claim 8 , wherein the first insulating film is not provided with an adhesive layer.

10 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the second insulating film is greater than a width of the tab portion, and the width of the second insulating film is less than a width of the cell body.

11 . The battery according to claim 1 , wherein two tab portions are provided, and the two tab portions respectively extend from two opposite sides of the cell body,
wherein the second insulating film extends from one of the tab portions to the other one of the tab portions.
