  • Patent number: 11837700
    Abstract: An energy storage device includes an electrode assembly having a negative electrode plate and a separator wound around a tubular core material. The core material has a first line part and a second line part extending along a first imaginary line and a second imaginary line parallel to a long side surface of a case, respectively. At least one of the first line part and the second line part has a curved portion that protrudes toward the other beyond the first imaginary line or the second imaginary line. An inner peripheral edge of the negative electrode plate is located at a position other than the curved portion in at least one of the first line part and the second line part.

  • Patent number: 11335956
    Abstract: An energy storage device includes an electrode assembly formed by winding a negative electrode plate, a separator and the like. An innermost periphery of the negative electrode plate, the separator and the like which are wound together has a flattened shape having a pair of bent portions disposed on opposite sides in a first direction as viewed in a direction of the winding axis, and an end edge of the negative electrode plate on an innermost periphery side is disposed at one bent portion out of the pair of bent portions or a position in the vicinity of the one bent portion.
