Abstract: A terminal member is electrically connected to at least one battery cell of a plurality of battery cells, and includes a fuse portion. An arc interruption portion is located in a discharging space in which an arc generated at a time of melting and disconnection of the fuse portion extends, and is provided to extend in a direction substantially orthogonal to a direction in which the fuse portion and the discharging space are arranged side by side.

Abstract: A terminal member is electrically connected to at least one battery cell of a plurality of battery cells. A holder is located at an end portion of a stack and can fix the terminal member by inserting the terminal member into the holder in a first direction. One of the terminal member and the holder is provided with a first protrusion protruding in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The other of the terminal member and the holder is provided with a first recess fitted to the first protrusion.

Abstract: A secondary battery in which the contact resistance is not increased even if the number of housed electrodes is increased is provided. Two screw holes 11d are formed in an opposed surface 11c of a terminal body portion 11b of a positive terminal 11 that faces the stacking direction. A projecting surface 11e is provided between the two screw holes 11d to project toward a positive pressing member 25 with respect to portions provided with the screw holes 11d. The projecting surface 11e projects toward the positive pressing member 25 by 0.2 mm with respect to the portions provided with the two screw holes 11d.

Abstract: If a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery has a seal structure between a lid and an electrode terminal in which a seal member is compressed by fastening a nut, the nut may be loosened to make the amount of compression of the seal member insufficient to reduce the seal performance even if the nut is fastened enough to obtain an appropriate amount of compression of the seal member at the time of manufacture of the battery. A battery case has an opening, and houses an electrode group and an organic electrolyte. A lid is fastened to the battery case, and tightly seals the opening of the battery case. An electrode terminal is electrically connected to the electrode group. The lid and the electrode terminal face each other via an elastic member.

Abstract: In non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries, an organic solvent is used for an electrolyte. Thus, the non-aqueous electrolyte may be decomposed to produce a gas in the battery to abruptly raise the internal pressure of the battery in an abnormal state such as an internal short circuit or overcharge. In order to prevent a rupture of the battery case due to a rise in internal pressure, the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a cleavage valve that opens when the internal pressure rises. The cleavage valve includes a valve element and a ring member, and is installed in a through hole provided in a lid plate. In order to prevent corrosion of the cleavage valve, a corrosion preventing foil is provided to cover the through hole provided in the lid plate of the battery case from inside the battery case to cover the cleavage valve.
