The application relates to the technical field of batteries, and discloses a
battery cell and a
battery pack. The
battery cell comprises a shell with an open end, the open end of the shell forms a first end face, a cover plate
assembly comprises a cover plate body, the cover plate body comprises a body part and a boss, the boss is connected to one side of the body part in the Z direction, the body part is lapped on the first end face, the boss extends into the inner cavity of the shell, and the boss is arranged in a spaced mode with the shell; a guide ring is sleeved on the boss and clamped between the boss and the shell, and the height of the guide ring in the Z direction is greater than the thickness of the boss in the Z direction. By sleeving the guide ring on the outer circumferential side of the boss, the area where the guide ring is in contact with the inner wall of the shell forms a support area, the setting of the guide ring increases the support height of the inner wall of the shell, improves the support stability, reduces the strain of the
heat affected zone without increasing the thickness of the cover plate body, avoids the abnormal problem that the
welding heat affected zone of the shell is prone to
cracking under the action of a large
fatigue stress, and improves the safety of the
battery cell.
