The invention belongs to the technical field of batteries, and particularly relates to a positive
pole piece and a battery. The positive
pole piece comprises a base material, a first
coating and a second
coating, the first
coating is arranged on the surface of one side of the base material, and the second coating is arranged on the surface, away from the base material, of the first coating; the positive
pole piece meets the following relational expression: A = beta1 * H1 * R (H1 + H2) / (beta1 * H1 + beta2 * H2), wherein 6 < A < 17.5; according to the positive pole piece provided by the embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the first coating, the
porosity of the first coating, the resistance of the first coating, the thickness of the second coating and the
porosity of the second coating are quantitatively restrained through a formula, and the numerical value of A is controlled within the range, so that the mechanical safety and the
electrolyte retention capability can be restrained at the same time; and the passing of the
acupuncture test can be ensured, and the liquid
retention capacity of the
battery cell can be improved, so that the cycle performance of the
battery cell is improved, and the
battery cell has relatively small
energy density loss.
