| 20080303484 | System For Controlling Voltage Balancing In a Plurality of Lithium-Ion Cell Battery Packs and Method Thereof - Disclosed is a system for adjusting a voltage balancing of cells in a lithium ion multicell battery pack. The system comprises a vertical interface outputting inputs of a reading balance signal defining a voltage reading period and a balance period and a reading hold signal holding a cell voltage when reading a voltage; an interface outputting an address clock for designating an address of a cell to be controlled and an input of a balance hold signal for independently reading a cell voltage within a voltage balance period; and a control section of a cell balancing adjusting circuit connected to the vertical interface and the interface and receiving signal outputs therefrom to adjust a balancing of cells. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20100028772 | POUCH-TYPE SECONDARY BATTERY HAVING AN NON-SEALING RESIDUE PORTION - Disclosed herein is a secondary battery including an electrode assembly of a cathode/separator/anode structure mounted in a pouch-shaped battery case in a sealed state, wherein a residue portion, which is not sealed (non-sealing residue portion), is defined between a sealing portion of the battery case and the electrode assembly for collecting generated gas, and the non-sealing residue portion is formed by mounting the electrode assembly between upper and lower laminate sheets, at least one of which has a receiving part of a size approximately corresponding to the electrode assembly, sealing three sides of the upper and lower laminate sheets, including two sides where electrode terminals are disposed, among four sides of the upper and lower laminate sheets, injecting an electrolyte in the battery case through the non-sealing portion, and sealing the non-sealing portion such that the resultant sealing portion is spaced a predetermined width from the receiving part. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100255368 | POUCH TYPE SECONDARY BATTERY WITH IMPROVED SAFETY - Provided is a pouch-type secondary battery including an electrode assembly, electrode tabs extending outward from the electrode assembly, a pouch-type battery case for housing the electrode assembly, first sealing portions for sealing the pouch-type battery case and the electrode tabs, and second sealing portions formed at positions with the exception of electrode tab-positioned sites between the first sealing portions and the electrode assembly. The secondary battery is configured to have a structure such that a channel is formed with electrode tab portions by further sealing inside portions of the electrode tabs with the exception of electrode tab-occupied portions. Such a structure allows for easy unidirectional discharge of gases even when the battery inside reaches a certain level of internal pressure due to evolution of gases and enables previous expectation of the gas discharge direction. Therefore, it is possible to provide a secondary battery with improved safety. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100255382 | SECONDARY BATTERY WITH IMPROVED STORAGE CHARACTERISTICS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - Provided is a secondary battery comprising a separator having an inorganic layer wherein active sites of inorganic particles in the inorganic layer are modified into non-reactive sites. Use of the separator leads to improvements in wettability of an electrolyte and thermoelectric stability and storage characteristics of the secondary battery. Provided is also a method of manufacturing the same secondary battery. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100310930 | POUCH AND SECONDARY BATTERY COMPRISING THE SAME - Disclosed is a pouch including a first sealing portion wherein an upper sheet and a lower sheet are sealed, and a second sealing portion present in a partial or entire region of the first sealing portion. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110045338 | SEPARATOR HAVING POROUS COATING LAYER AND ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICE CONTAINING THE SAME - A separator includes a porous substrate having a plurality of pores; and a porous coating layer formed on at least one surface of the porous substrate and made of a mixture of a plurality of inorganic particles and a binder polymer, wherein the binder polymer includes a first polyvinylidene fluoride-based copolymer having solubility of 25 weight % or more with respect to acetone at 350 C; a second polyvinylidene fluoride-based copolymer having solubility of 10 weight % or less with respect to acetone at 350 C; and a polymer having a cyano group. This separator decelerates deterioration of life span of an electrochemical device, and prevents disintercalation of inorganic particles in the porous coating layer, thereby improving safety of the electrochemical device. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110086259 | WATER-RESISTANT POUCH TYPE SECONDARY CELL - The present invention relates to a pouch type secondary cell with high water-resistance. The pouch type secondary cell comprises a positive electrode, a separation layer, and a negative electrode. Here, the sealing unit of the secondary cell includes steps so that the sealing unit has an outer side thinner than an inner side in thickness. The present invention is advantageous in that the manufacture process can be simplified, the water-resistance and sealing property of sealing portions can be further improved, and the manufacture costs can be reduced. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110177388 | ANODE COATED WITH LITHIUM FLUORIDE COMPOUNDS, METHOD FOR PREPARING THE SAME, AND LITHIUM SECONDARY BATTERY HAVING THE SAME - An anode for a lithium ion secondary battery includes an anode, and a LiF-based coating layer formed with LiF-based particles on a surface of the anode. The LiF-based coating layer has a thickness of 0.05 to 1 μm. The anode allows the LiF-based coating layer created by side reaction of LiPF6 during a battery charging/discharging process to be relatively uniformly formed on the anode surface, thereby elongating the life cycle of a lithium ion secondary battery. | 07-21-2011 |
