Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de coupure de courant d'un premier dispositif de stockage électrique qui est connecté en série entre une première borne d'électrode disposée sur une paroi de montage de borne d'un boîtier et un premier élément conducteur électriquement connecté à un ensemble électrode disposé à l'intérieur du boîtier, et connecte ou coupe un chemin d'excitation entre l'ensemble électrode et la première borne d'électrode. Le dispositif de coupure de courant est disposé entre la paroi de montage de borne et l'ensemble électrode. L'ensemble électrode a une structure enroulée, une feuille d'électrode positive et une feuille d'électrode négative prenant en sandwich une feuille séparatrice étant empilées dans cet état dans une paire d'électrodes sous forme de couche puis enroulées. Le premier élément conducteur est connecté à l'électrode située sur le côté dispositif de coupure de courant de l'ensemble électrode.
