The utility model belongs to the technical field of batteries, and discloses a single battery and a
battery pack. The single battery comprises a
fixed frame and a plurality of
electrode assemblies, connecting tabs are arranged at two ends of each
electrode assembly along a first direction, and the plurality of
electrode assemblies are connected in series end to end along the first direction; the connecting tabs close to each other in two adjacent electrode assemblies are in
lap joint with each other, an accommodating groove is formed in the end part, close to the other electrode
assembly, of one electrode
assembly, and the two connecting tabs which are in
lap joint with each other are accommodated in the accommodating groove; the fixing frame is arranged on the periphery of the electrode assemblies in a surrounding mode, and a containing cavity for containing the electrode assemblies is formed. According to the single battery, the battery core in the single battery is divided into a plurality of electrode assemblies, so that the length of the
single electrode assembly can be reduced, undesirable phenomena such as surface wrinkles, deformation, layer channeling and breakage caused by overlong electrode assemblies are avoided, and meanwhile, the
fixed frame is used for fixing the connected electrode assemblies, so that the use safety of the single battery is improved.
