The application relates to the technical field of battery
processing, in particular to a battery and a
battery pack. The battery comprises: a
battery cell; a tab connected to the
battery cell; a sleeve structure comprising an insulating sleeve and a reinforcing rib, the insulating sleeve is sleeved on the tab, and the reinforcing rib is connected to the insulating sleeve. The reinforcing rib is used for providing radial
restoring force, so that the insulating sleeve is tightly attached to the tab after being sleeved on the tab. The insulating sleeve is sleeved on the tab, and the reinforcing rib provides additional radial
restoring force, so that the insulating sleeve can be tightly attached to the tab after being sleeved on the tab. The multiple tabs are shaped and regularized, the tabs are prevented from being folded and inserted during the
assembly process, and after the
assembly of the
battery cell is completed, the insulating sleeve is recovered, the tabs are insulated and isolated, the tabs are prevented from contacting the pole pieces to cause internal
short circuit, the problems of tab redundant
insertion and internal
short circuit failure are effectively solved, and the safety and reliability of the battery
cell are improved.
