Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery cell technology, and in particular to a novel soft-pack PACK structure. Background Technology

[0002] The battery cell is the core component of a battery. It is a basic unit that can convert electrical energy and chemical energy into each other and is the key part of the battery to generate electrical energy. There are three types of battery cells: aluminum-cased cells, pouch cells, and cylindrical cells. Mobile phone batteries usually use aluminum-cased cells, while Bluetooth and other digital products mostly use pouch cells. Laptop batteries use a series and parallel combination of cylindrical cells.

[0003] When existing battery cells are connected to a charging circuit, the power supply applies voltage to the cell, and lithium ions in the positive electrode material gain energy and are released from the crystal structure of the positive electrode material. The lithium ions move towards the negative electrode in the electrolyte and are embedded in the layered structure of the negative electrode material. The voltage of the cell gradually increases until it reaches the set charging cutoff voltage, thus completing the charging process. However, existing battery cells are often directly welded to the battery casing, resulting in insufficient welding strength. Utility Model Content
