The invention relates to a strip-shaped battery. The strip-shaped battery comprises a shell, a cover plate and a
battery cell, a containing cavity is formed in the middle of the shell and provided with an opening, and the opening penetrates through the side face of the shell. The cover plate is connected with the shell and used for sealing the opening. The
battery cell is arranged in the accommodating cavity, a first end and a second end of the
battery cell are respectively provided with a first tab and a second tab, the first tab is electrically connected with the shell, and the second tab is electrically connected with the cover plate. When the strip-shaped battery is packaged, the battery
cell is accommodated in the accommodating cavity, the cover plate covers the shell, the opening is closed, and the first tab and the second tab of the battery
cell are respectively welded with the shell and the cover plate to realize electric connection, so that the packaging of the strip-shaped battery is realized, the opening is formed in the side surface of the shell, and the
welding point of the second tab is arranged on the cover plate; and the
processing area is relatively large, the structure is simple, the assembling,
processing and forming are easy, the
manufacturing efficiency of the strip-shaped battery is improved, and the production cost is reduced.
