Abstract
Provided is a plate-shaped battery cell in which electrode leads are located at one side end portion of a battery case including an excess sealing portion of a thermally-welded or adhesive structure for sealing an electrode assembly. the battery cell includes: a Protection Circuit Module (PCM) assembly having one or more safety elements for preventing overcurrent, wherein the PCM assembly includes a PCM and a conductive lead plate for electrically connecting the electrode leads, wherein the lead plate includes: an electrode lead connection portion positioned at one side end portion of the lead plate for electrically connecting the PCM and the electrode lead; a PCM connection portion located at the other side end portion of the lead plate for connecting to a connection portion of a printed circuit board on which a protection circuit is formed; and a bent portion extending from the electrode lead connection portion to be bent to face the outer surface of the battery case in order to prevent damage to the battery case occurring during a process of connecting the electrode lead to the electrode lead connecting portion.
