1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing comprising:
a first plate;
a second plate facing an opposite side to the first plate; and
a side member surrounding a space between the first plate and the second plate, and connected to the second plate or integrally formed with the second plate;
a display viewed through at least a portion of the first plate;
a battery disposed in the housing,
the battery comprising:
a battery cell comprising a plurality of cell parts disposed such that at least portions of the plurality of cell parts overlap each other when viewed from a top of one surface of the battery; and
a plurality of conductive members disposed such that the plurality of conductive members do not overlap each other at peripheries of the plurality of cell parts when viewed from the top of one surface of the battery, and wherein each of the plurality of conductive members is same electrode;
a battery protection circuit joined to the plurality of conductive members; and
a processor operatively connected to the display and the battery, and
wherein, the plurality of conductive members comprises;
a first conductive member having a first width; and
a plurality of second conductive members spaced apart from each other and spaced apart from the first conductive member, and having a second width shorter than the first width, respectively and
wherein in a state of unfolding, the first conductive member is not overlapped with the plurality of second conductive members and each one of the plurality of second conductive members is not overlapped with each other when viewed from the top of one surface of the battery, and
wherein in a state of folding, the each one of the plurality of second conductive members is not overlapped with each other and is overlapped with the first conductive member when viewed from the top of the surface of the battery.
