The invention relates to an
energy storage device and a power utilization
system. The
energy storage device comprises a shell, an
electrode assembly, an end cover
assembly and a binding piece, wherein the shell is provided with an accommodating cavity; the
electrode assembly is arranged in the accommodating cavity, the
electrode assembly comprises a plurality of tabs and an electrode main body which are electrically connected, and the tabs and the electrode main body are arranged along a first direction; the end cover assembly is arranged on one side of the shell and used for sealing the containing cavity. The binding piece is positioned between the end cover assembly and the electrode main body; the binding piece is provided with a penetrating hole, and the penetrating hole penetrates through the two opposite surfaces of the binding piece in the first direction. The penetrating hole extends along a second direction, the plurality of tabs penetrate through the penetrating hole, and the first direction is intersected with the second direction; the penetrating hole is provided with a first side wall and a second side wall which are oppositely arranged in the second direction, and in the second direction, the distance between the first side wall and the second side wall is larger than the size of the ends, close to the electrode body, of the tabs.
