Battery, characterized in that it comprises: a cylindrical
jelly roll comprising an
electrode, a separator, and a tab, the
electrode comprising a positive
electrode and a negative electrode stacked on top of each other, the tab comprising a positive tab and a negative tab, the positive electrode provided with the positive tab extending outwardly from a side edge of the positive electrode, wherein the negative electrode provided with the negative tab extends outwardly from a side edge of the negative electrode, and wherein the separator is provided between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; wherein, in a state where the cylindrical
jelly roll is unfolded, the width direction of the electrode is a first direction, the length direction of the electrode is a second direction, and the electrode is provided with a plurality of tabs at intervals along the length direction on one side in the first direction, a gap is formed between two adjacent tabs extending along the first direction, the gap is provided to be open at an end remote from the electrode, a distance between the end of the gap near the electrode and the electrode is h1 mm, the side of the separator near the tab extends beyond the electrode in the first direction, the distance between the side of the separator near the tab and the side of the electrode provided with the tab is h2 mm, where h1 > h2.
