The steel shell 1 also includes a winding core 2 and a heat insulation film 3. The inner side of the steel shell 1 is provided with a heat insulation film 3 for isolating the heat inside and outside the battery. The positive current collector sheet 4 and the negative current collector sheet 10 are provided with a plurality of negative contact points 1001, which are in contact with the negative electrode sheet 203. The positive contact points 401 and the negative contact points 1001 are used to converge the positive and negative currents without affecting each other. A winding core 2 is commonly arranged between the flow sheets 10, and the winding core 2 is composed of a positive electrode sheet 201, a diaphragm 202 and a negative electrode sheet 203.
