Battery Cell Including Electrode Lead Located So As To Face Outer Surface Of Electrode Assembly

A battery cell has an electrode assembly, including a positive electrode and a negative electrode stacked in the state in which a separator is interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, is mounted in a pouch-shaped cell case, wherein electrode tabs protruding outwards from a plurality of electrode plates are coupled to a first lead end of an electrode lead, a second lead end of the electrode lead, which is an opposite end to the first lead end, is located on the outer surface of the cell case in the state of being parallel to the direction in which the electrode plates are stacked, and a lead body provided between the first lead end and the second lead end is located to face the outermost surface of the electrode assembly in the state of being maintained parallel to the direction in which the electrode plates are stacked.
