The cell 1 is arranged inside the shell 5. There are three cell 1s, and the three cell 1s are evenly arranged in the shell 5 along the axial direction. The arrangement of multiple cell 1 can improve the battery capacity. At the same time, multiple cell 1 can be replaced. When a single cell 1 is damaged, it will not affect the normal use of the battery, and the use experience is improved. A ejector pin socket 32 is provided on the cap 3, and the bottom of the positive electrode ejector pin 2 passes through the ejector pin socket 32 and is welded to the circuit board 4; the circuit board 4 is snapped into the bottom of the cap 3 and is electrically connected to the cell 1; the charging terminal assembly 41 is exposed through the charging slot 31; it also includes a reset component 6, a limiting steel ball 61, and the cap 3 A limiting hole 33 is provided on the outside for cooperating with the limiting steel ball 61, and a steel ball through-hole 51 is provided on the outer shell 5 for the limiting steel ball 61 to pass through. The reset component 6 is used to control the movement of the limiting steel ball 61 to complete the detachable connection between the cap 3 and the outer shell 5. A reset component 6 is provided between the cap 3 and the outer shell 5. The reset component 6 controls the limiting steel ball 61 to move in the steel ball through-hole 51. When the cap 3 is connected to the outer shell 5, the limiting steel ball 61 cooperates with the steel ball through-hole 51 on the outer shell 5 and the limiting hole 33 on the cap 3 to fix the cap 3 to the top of the outer shell 5. When a fault occurs inside the battery and maintenance or replacement of internal parts is required, the reset component 6 controls the limiting steel ball 61 to move and disengage from the limiting hole 33, thereby completing the disassembly of the cap 3 and the outer shell 5, thereby replacing and maintaining the damaged parts inside the rechargeable battery, which can effectively save parts resources and is easy to use.

[0017] The reset assembly 6 of the present invention includes a sleeve limiting groove 52, a reset sleeve 62, a steel ball limiting protrusion 621, and a reset spring 63. The sleeve limiting groove 52 is arranged on the top outer wall of the shell 5, the reset sleeve 62 is slidably arranged above the sleeve limiting groove 52, the steel ball limiting protrusion 621 is arranged on the top inner wall of the reset sleeve 62, one end of the reset spring 63 is against the side wall of the sleeve limiting groove 52, and the other end of the reset spring 63 is against the side wall of the steel ball limiting protrusion 621; when the reset spring 63 is in an uncompressed state, the top side wall of the sleeve limiting groove 52 is against the steel ball limiting protrusion 621, and the steel ball limiting protrusion 621 is located above the limiting hole 33 and is against the limiting steel ball 61.

When in use, the shell 5 is equivalent to the negative electrode of the battery, which ensures the conductive effect while protecting the inside of the battery.

[0021] Working principle:

[0022] During assembly, the reset sleeve 62 is first put on the shell 5, and the reset sleeve 62 is compressed, and the cap 3 is placed on the shell 5, and then the limiting steel ball 61 is placed in the limiting hole 33 through the steel ball through-hole 51. At this time, the reset sleeve 62 is reset by the reset spring 63.
