[0098] It should be emphasized that the large and small sides of the battery cell mentioned above refer to the two larger and two smaller sides of the square outer casing of the battery cell, while the AB side refers to the two symmetrical sides of the battery cell.

[0099] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
