Abstract
The present invention provides a secondary battery comprising a housing with an internal chamber and Li-ion pouch cells including electrical terminals exposed to the outside of the housing. The secondary battery further includes an venting mechanism made of compressible materials to form air pockets to relieve internally generated pressure inside of said internal chamber by venting of compressible material air pockets to the outside of the housing, and the Li-ion pouch cells and the compressible materials are all encapsulated within a potting layer and located in said internal chamber of the housing.
