The utility model discloses a single battery and a
battery pack. The single battery comprises a shell, and the shell is provided with an accommodating cavity; the top cover covers the shell in the first direction so as to seal the containing cavity. The
battery cell is accommodated in the accommodating cavity; the protective film comprises a side film, the side film covers the
peripheral side surface, parallel to the first direction, of the
battery cell, and the side film is provided with an inner surface facing the
battery cell; wherein the side film is provided with a guide channel, and the guide channel is configured to be capable of realizing capillarity so as to actively suck the
electrolyte into the guide channel; the side film is provided with an inner hole, and the
electrolyte in the guide channel flows to the battery
cell through the inner hole. In addition, the utility model also discloses a
battery pack which comprises the single battery. According to the scheme, the guide channel capable of generating the capillary phenomenon is arranged on the protective film, so that the gathered
electrolyte can actively diffuse along the guide channel, the flowing amplitude and the flowing range of electrolyte infiltration are improved, and the electrolyte infiltration efficiency is greatly improved.
