The utility model relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a battery and an electric device. The battery comprises a shell, a pole group and an end cover, openings are formed in the two ends of the shell in the first direction, the pole group comprises at least two pole group split bodies arranged in the second direction, the end cover comprises a cover plate and a lower plastic part, the cover plate covers the openings, and the lower plastic part is arranged on the side, facing the shell, of the cover plate and abuts against the pole group. The cover plate and the lower plastic part are both of a flat plate structure, so that the lower plastic part can be well attached to the cover plate, the defects of tab clamping and the like caused by an overlarge gap between the cover plate and the lower plastic part are prevented, the tab is further prevented from being torn and broken, and the service life of the battery is prolonged; the cover plate adopts a flat plate structure, so that the pole group is supported in a more balanced manner, and the internal space of the shell is saved; the pole group is divided into the plurality of pole group split bodies, so that the size of the single pole group split body is reduced, and the condition that the pole group is bent and deformed due to overlarge size is avoided.
