Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A battery pack including a battery cell including an electrode assembly arranged within a can and an electrode terminal electrically connected to the electrode assembly, the can having an opening sealed by a cap plate, a top case attached to the battery cell at a top portion of the battery cell, the top case having an inner space and a protective circuit module including a protection circuit board arranged within said inner space of said top case and electrically connected to the electrode assembly, wherein the top case includes a top portion opposite from the electrode assembly and first and second pairs of opposed sides, the first pair of opposed sides having an edge, a portion of the edge has a recessed interference preventing portion, the recessed interference preventing portion corresponds to a location of a weld connecting an electrode tap to the electrode terminal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A battery pack, comprising: a battery cell including an electrode assembly arranged within a can and an electrode terminal electrically connected to the electrode assembly, the can having an opening sealed by a cap plate; a top case attached to the battery cell at a top portion of the battery cell, the top case having an inner space; and a protective circuit module including a protection circuit board arranged within said inner space of said top case and electrically connected to the electrode assembly, wherein the top case includes a top portion opposite the electrode assembly and first and second pairs of opposed sides, the first pair of opposed sides having an edge, wherein each of the sides of the first pair of opposed sides includes an edge having a portion which has a recessed interference preventing portion, wherein the recessed interference preventing portion corresponds to a location of a weld connecting an electrode tap to the electrode terminal, and wherein shapes of the recessed interference preventing portions are substantially identical to each other; wherein the recessed interference preventing portions of each side of the first pair of sides of the top case comprise a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, the third portion being further recessed along the edges of each of the first pair of sides than the second portion and the second portion being further recessed along the edges of each of the first pair of sides than the first portion by having the third portion nested within the second portion and the second portion nested within the first portion. 2. The battery pack of claim 1 , wherein the third portion of the recessed interference preventing portion on one of the first pair of sides of the top case corresponds to a location of the electrode terminal. 3. The battery pack of claim 1 , wherein the third portion of the recessed interference preventing portion of one of the first pair of sides of the top case corresponds to the location of the weld. 4. The battery pack of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the recessed interference preventing portion of one of the sides of the first pair of sides of the top case corresponds to a location of an electrical insulator on the top case that electrically insulates the electrode terminal from the cap plate.
