1. A battery, comprising:
a battery cell having a first electrode tab and a second electrode tab, the second electrode tab having a different polarity from the first electrode tab;
a casing assembly, wherein the battery cell is disposed in the casing assembly; and
a conductive member being fixed to the casing assembly by a continuous layer of an insulating material, the insulating material being adhesive;
wherein
the casing assembly comprises a first casing and a second casing;
the first casing has a bottom portion and a sidewall surrounding the bottom portion, together defining a receiving space for the battery cell;
the second casing is a flat plate, the second casing is connected with the first casing at an edge of the sidewall and covers the receiving space;
a first through hole is provided in the second casing, the bottom portion or the sidewall; and the insulating material has a second through hole, the second through hole overlaps with the first through hole, the conductive member is fixed to a surface of the casing assembly through the insulating material, the conductive member covers the first through hole and the second through hole, and a diameter of the first through hole is greater than a diameter of the second through hole; and
the first electrode tab is electrically connected to the conductive member, and the second electrode tab is electrically connected to the bottom portion or the sidewall of the first casing.
