ABSTRACT:
An enclosed non-aqueous secondary cell is herein disclosed, in which a group of electrodes comprising positive and negative electrodes allowing absorption and release of a light metal and separators are accommodated in a closed-end cell-armoring can together with a non-aqueous electrolyte and an opening of the armoring can is closed by an insulating gasket positioned around the inner periphery of the opening of the can and a closing lid fitted in and supported by the gasket and simultaneously serving as a positive or negative terminal, wherein the closing lid comprises an explosion-proof valve capable of deforming towards the direction opposite to the group of electrodes in response to an increase in the internal pressure of the cell, a terminal cap provided with vent holes and arranged at the side of the explosion-proof valve opposed to the group of electrodes and a non-reverse type switch which is positioned between the explosion-proof valve and the terminal cap and serves to shut-off the electrical connection between the terminal cap and the positive or negative electrode when the temperature of the cell is raised or the pressure in the cell is increased. The foregoing cell construction permits shutting off of the electrical connections within the cell when the temperature and/or internal pressure thereof increase.
