Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung has filed a patent for a battery assembly where a protective cover wraps the back and sides of a battery cell. The cover extends onto the front of the battery from both sides, leaving a gap between the two front sections.

Why it mattersThis design may help with how batteries are packaged or protected inside devices, though the filing does not specify a new feature or performance boost.

In the filing’s own words

A battery includes a battery cell, and a cover. The cover includes a main cover portion to wrap a rear surface of the battery cell and including an inner surface facing the battery cell and an outer surface opposite the inner surface, a first cover portion extending from the main cover portion and to wrap a portion of a front surface of the battery cell from one-side edge of the battery cell, a second cover portion extending from the main cover portion and to wrap a portion of the front surface from an other-side edge of the battery cell. A first adhesive region of the first cover portion and a second adhesive region of the second cover portion are attached to a front surface of the battery cell. The first and second cover portions are spaced apart from each other when viewing a front surface of the battery.
