Abstract
A rechargeable battery includes fuses inside and outside a cell, thereby improving safety by preventing abnormal breakdown from occurring in the cell due to an electric short circuit. The rechargeable battery includes an electrode assembly including a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate and a separator between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, a case accommodating the electrode assembly, and a first electrode terminal and a second electrode terminal electrically connected to the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate and protruding to the outside of the case. One of the first electrode terminal and the second electrode terminal includes a fuse part.
