RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a rechargeable battery including: an electrode assembly (120) configured to include: an electrode in which an uncoated region is formed; a case (27) configured to accommodate the electrode assembly (120) and to be provided with an opening; a cap assembly (30) configured to be provided with an electrode terminal and to be coupled to the opening to seal the case (27); and a current collecting plate (300) configured to be coupled to an uncoated region of the electrode assembly (120). The current collecting plate (300) may include a first flat plate portion (362) provided with a welded portion (366) welded to the uncoated region (21b, 22b), a second flat plate portion (342) provided with a fuse portion (375) and electrically connected to the electrode terminal, and a vibration absorbing portion (380) connected to the first and second flat plate portions (362, 342) of which opposite end portions face each other in a longitudinal direction and having a thinner thickness than that of the first and second flat plate portions (362, 342).
