1. An energy storage device, comprising:
a supporter having a first side and a second side opposite to each other, the supporter defining a mounting hole and a vent hole, the mounting hole being spaced apart from the vent hole in a length direction of the supporter;
a pole accommodated in the mounting hole;
a stimulus-response member disposed at the second side, wherein the vent hole enables gas from the first side to flow through to the stimulus-response member;
a connector disposed at the first side, the connector comprising a first connecting part and a second connecting part, wherein
the first connecting part is connected to the pole, the first connecting part is connected to the second connecting part, the first connecting part is opposite to the second connecting part when the first connecting part is folded relative to the second connecting part, the second connecting part extends toward the vent hole, the second connecting part partially shields the vent hole in a thickness direction of the supporter, and at least a gap is defined between a side surface of the vent hole and the second connecting part in the length direction of the supporter and/or in a width direction of the supporter; and
an electrode assembly having a tab, the tab being connected to the second connecting part, wherein
in the thickness direction of the supporter, a ratio of an area of a portion of the vent hole not shielded by the second connecting part to an area of a portion of the vent hole shielded by the second connecting part ranges from 1/10 to 1/2.
