Abstract: In one preferable aspect of a battery herein disclosed, the sealing plate includes: an electrode terminal electrically joined at one end thereof with any electrode of positive and negative electrodes inside a battery case, the electrode terminal inserted at the other end thereof through the terminal mounting hole to be exposed to outside the sealing plate, and an insulating member for establishing an insulation between an outer surface of a surface of the sealing plate, the outer surface being outside the battery case with an opening sealed, and the collector terminal, and the insulating member includes an exposed part exposed to the outer side surface. Herein, comparison between a fitting part and the second collar part indicates that a height of the fitting part from a bottom wall of the battery case is higher than a height of the second collar part from the bottom wall of the battery case.

Abstract: Provided is a technology to suppress a decrease in airtightness around a liquid injection port of a secondary battery. A secondary battery disclosed here has a lid having a liquid injection port, a resin washer attached to the liquid injection port, and a sealing member. The sealing member has a sleeve inserted into the liquid injection port and a flange extending from the sleeve along an outer surface of the lid in an outer diameter direction. The resin washer is installed in the liquid injection port and is sandwiched between the flange and the outer surface of the lid. A protrusion protruding toward the outer surface of the lid is provided at a radial intermediate portion of the flange. A restricting portion that restricts an outer edge of the resin washer is provided in the lid or the sealing member.

Abstract: A battery module includes: a plurality of battery cells held in a case; and a collector plate disposed on one side or the other side of the plurality of battery cells. The collector plate includes connection terminals connected to a collector plate main body so that the plurality of connection terminals are disposed to face an electrode provided in each of the battery cells. In at least one of the electrodes, the plurality of the connection terminals facing the at least one electrode include a first connection terminal welded to the electrode and a second connection terminal not welded to the electrode.

Abstract: A battery block includes a plurality of tubular batteries arranged and housed in a holder. Each of the batteries includes a first external terminal, and a second external terminal. The holder includes a first holder having first tubular housing portions housing upper portions of the batteries in an axis direction, and a second holder having second tubular housing portions housing lower portions of the batteries in the axis direction. The first holder electrically connects the first external terminals together. The second holder electrically connects the second external terminals together.
