This invention relates to the field of
lithium battery technology and provides a cylindrical
lithium battery, comprising: a cylindrical casing having an open end and a closed end, wherein a first through hole is formed at the center of the end face of the closed end; a
cell assembly disposed within the casing, including a first
electrode near the closed end and a second
electrode near the open end, the first
electrode and the second electrode having different electrical polarities; a first
current collector disposed within the casing and connected to the first electrode of the
cell assembly, wherein a boss extending from the first through hole to the outside of the casing is provided at the center of the first
current collector; a first electrode lead-out end cap disposed outside the casing and connected to the boss; and a second electrode lead-out end cap disposed at the open end of the casing, connecting the second electrode of the
cell assembly and the casing, wherein the second electrode lead-out end cap and the casing are sealed together. The cylindrical
lithium battery provided by this invention avoids battery self-
discharge and internal short circuits caused by
metal dust generated during the battery sealing process.
