[0002] With the rapid development of portable electronic devices, lithium-ion batteries have become the mainstream choice in various application fields due to their advantages such as high energy density, long cycle life, and environmental friendliness. Among the many forms of lithium-ion batteries, cylindrical batteries have been widely favored due to their simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and high energy density.
[0003] However, existing cylindrical pouch cells cannot be easily assembled and have the following problems during use: inconvenient connection: the positive and negative terminals are distributed at both ends of the battery, and the device connection requires a specific interface design, which increases the complexity of the design; risk of reverse installation: the positive and negative terminals are distributed at both ends, which can easily lead to reverse installation of the battery, posing a safety hazard; insufficient mechanical strength: although the aluminum-plastic film of the pouch cell is lightweight, its mechanical strength is low and it is easily damaged by external forces; external protection circuit: it increases the design complexity of the battery and is easily affected by the external environment.

[0027] The soft-pack battery cell 7 is placed inside the steel shell 8, which increases the strength of the battery. The protection board 3 and the soft-pack battery cell 7 are fixed inside the steel shell 8 by the fixing component.
[0028] The protection board 3 enables the charging and discharging of the soft-pack battery cell 7, while also providing short-circuit protection for the soft-pack battery cell 7.
[0029] By connecting the protection plate 3 to the positive electrode tab 6 and the negative electrode tab 12 respectively, the positive and negative electrodes of the battery are located at the same end of the battery.
