BATTERY CELL AND ELECTRIC DEVICE

A battery cell includes a housing, an electrode assembly, a conductive member, and a protective layer. The electrode assembly is accommodated in the housing. The electrode assembly includes a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate with opposite polarities. The first electrode plate includes a first current collector and a first active substance layer. The first current collector includes a main body portion and a first region located in a width direction of the first electrode plate, the first active substance layer being provided on a surface of the main body portion and the first active substance layer being not provided on a surface of the first region. The conductive member is welded to the first region to form a welding region. The protective layer is disposed on a surface of the welding region.
