[0002] Lithium batteries are efficient, environmentally friendly, and convenient batteries with broad application prospects. For lithium batteries used in the field of drones, when a single cell of a lithium battery module fails, customers need to replace and repair the cell, but the factory often needs a long time to schedule and delay the customer's repair time. Secondly, some drone manufacturers will choose to sell lithium battery modules as replacements. For example, if 10,000 drones are sold, 200 lithium battery modules will be purchased as stock to facilitate the replacement of lithium battery modules containing defective single cells. However, most of these 200 lithium battery modules are still not used normally after the shelf life expires, resulting in a lot of waste.

[0003] At the same time, when a problem occurs during the use of a lithium battery module, when inspection finds that a problem occurs in a single cell of the lithium battery module, in theory, only the problematic single cell in the lithium battery module needs to be replaced.

The pole tabs of the single cell are not detachably connected to the connecting plate, so the single cell with problems cannot be quickly replaced, which ultimately causes the entire lithium battery module to be unable to be used normally, which causes great waste of the product.
