The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and discloses a single battery and a
battery pack, the single battery comprises a shell, a first cover plate, a
battery cell and a first pole, along a first direction, one end of the shell is provided with a first opening, the
battery cell is arranged in the shell, a first tab of the
battery cell extends out from one end part of a battery
cell body of the battery
cell, and a second tab of the battery
cell extends out from the other end part of the battery cell body; the first
electrode lug is bent towards the first cover plate and forms a first bending point and a second bending point, the first
electrode column and the first
electrode lug are welded to form a first
welding printing area, the first
welding printing area is located between the second bending point and the end part of the first electrode lug, the length of the first electrode lug between the first bending point and the second bending point is L, in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a first spacing distance between the edge of the first
welding printing area and the edge of the first cover plate is d, in the first direction, a second spacing distance between the inner side of the first cover plate and the root of the first tab is c, and L is larger than or equal to 0.6 mm and smaller than or equal to 20 mm. And the risks of tab tearing and battery
monomer short circuit are reduced.
