Rechargeable battery having alternately stacked electrodes
First Claim
1. A rechargeable battery, comprising:
- a first electrode plate having a first current collector and a plurality of first active material portions, the plurality of first active material portions including first group material portions arranged on a first surface of the first current collector with a first gap therebetween and second group material portions arranged on a second surface of the first current collector with a second gap therebetween, the first and second surfaces of the first current collector being opposite to each other;
a first separator and a second separator on respective surfaces of the first electrode plate; and
a second electrode plate including a second current collector and a second active material portion on the second current collector, the second electrode plate being separated from the first electrode plate by at least one of the first separator and the second separator,wherein the first electrode plate, the first separator, and the second separator are bent in a zigzag structure with bent portions, the second electrode plate being arranged in an inside of each bent portion of the zigzag structure to from at least one double cell having the first electrode plate at both sides of the second electrode plate, whereineach of the first electrode plate, the first separator, and the second separator is integrally connected in the double cell, and whereinthe first gap between the first group material portions and the second between the second group material portions are spaced apart from each other in a length direction of the first current collector.

Abstract
A method of manufacturing a rechargeable battery includes continuously supplying a first electrode plate, the first electrode plate including a plurality of first active material portions with gaps therebetween on a first current collector, continuously supplying a first separator and a second separator to respective surfaces of the first electrode plate, bending the first electrode plate with the first and second separators to form a zigzag structure with bent portions, supplying a second electrode plate to an inside of each bent portion of the zigzag structure, the second electrode plate including a second active material portion on a second current collector, aligning and stacking the first electrode plate, the first separator, the second separator, and the second electrode plate, and taping the aligned and stacked first electrode plate, first separator, second separator, and second electrode plate at an outermost side thereof.
