ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY

An electrode assembly includes an electrode plate including a coated portion where an active material is coated on sides of a composite substrate and an uncoated portion where the active material is not provided on the composite substrate. A conductor is coupled to the uncoated portion, and an insulating layer covers at least a part of each of the uncoated portion, the coated portion, and the conductor. The uncoated portion is coupled to a first side of the conductor, and the insulating layer is disposed on a second side of the conductor that is opposite to the first side.
