ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to large plastic batteries having thermal switches to protect against overheating of the battery. In particular the present invention provides a rechargeable battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrically conductive collector associated with each electrode, a separator element arranged between the electrodes and a thermal switch layer containing a thermally-sensitive composition effective arranged to allow disruption of electrical conduction when the battery temperature reaches a critical temperature. Further the present invention provides a rechargeable battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrically conductive collector associated with one electrode, a separator element arranged between the electrodes, and at least one thermal switch layer containing a thermally-sensitive composition associated with the other electrode.
