Even if the electrolyte stored in the battery cell thermally expands due to temperature change, it is restrained by the end plate It can be seen that the internal pressure of the battery cell does not easily rise, preferably does not substantially rise. Sample No. 16 to No. 20 shows that the value of the internal pressure Pi is smaller (here, 0 MPa), and substantially no increase in internal pressure due to the above-described thermal expansion of the electrolyte occurs. On the other hand, for sample no. 105-No. In all cases, the value of the internal pressure Pi is large (in this case, 5.2 MPa or more). 11 to No. It is understood that the above-mentioned increase in internal pressure is more likely to occur than 20.

  • This elastic deformation can alleviate the pressing force applied to the frame due to the thermal expansion, and is considered to be easy to reduce the rise in the internal pressure of the battery cell. Also, for sample no. 16 to No. In each case 20, since the number y of the fastening members is 0.012x + 4 or less (y ⁇ 0.012x + 4), it is considered that the rise in the internal pressure of the battery cell can be further easily reduced. On the other hand, for sample no. 105-No. In each case, since the number y of tightening members exceeds 0.014x + 5 (0.014x + 5 ⁇ y), sample No. 11 to No. It is considered that the internal pressure of the battery cell is more likely to rise than 20. For these sample nos. 105-No. At 109, it is considered that the cell frame, particularly the frame, may cause breakage of the battery cell components such as cracking or cracking.

Abstract

Cet empilement de cellules est pourvu : d'un corps empilé dans lequel sont empilées une pluralité de cellules de batterie redox ; d'une paire de plaques d'extrémité prenant en sandwich le corps empilé ; et d'une pluralité d'éléments de liaison qui sont agencés dans des régions de bord externe des deux plaques d'extrémité, et qui fixent ensemble les plaques d'extrémité. Les plaques d'extrémité ont une forme plane rectangulaire. La longueur x d'un côté du rectangle n'est pas inférieure à 100 mm et est inférieure ou égale à 2 000 mm. Le nombre y des éléments de liaison disposés sur un côté du rectangle est un nombre entier naturel tel que la relation 0,0025 x ≤ y ≤ 0,14 x + 5 est satisfaite.
