Furthermore, when a cylindrical lithium battery is misused, for example when being charged or exposed to high temperatures, the internal pressure of the battery increases abnormally, so a mechanism is required to safely release the internal pressure. For this reason, conventional methods have been used to release the internal pressure using a sealing plate made of polypropylene, or by using a metal sealing plate partially made of a thin metal film, and when the internal pressure rises, the thin film part ruptures to release the internal pressure. A mechanism was needed.

Furthermore, the wall thickness of the side of the case should be reduced to about 0.15m or
If the internal pressure of the battery rises when the battery is misused, a part of the case at the sealing plate crimp part will be pushed apart by the increased internal pressure, loosening the crimp, and releasing the internal pressure.
