Abstract
A terminal of a rechargeable battery, which can provide a current path having reduced resistance between a bus bar and the terminal by separately forming a collector terminal and a coupling terminal while increasing a coupling force between the bus bar and the collector terminal, and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. In one embodiment, the terminal includes a collector terminal electrically connected to an electrode assembly disposed at the inside of a case and protruding toward the outside of the case, a lower fixing member having the collector terminal passing therethrough, a coupling terminal coupled to the lower fixing member in a sliding manner and protruding toward the outside of the lower fixing member, and an upper fixing member allowing the coupling terminal to pass therethrough and to be coupled thereto and covering the lower fixing member.
