Abstract: A battery includes a current collecting member connected to a power generating element housed in an outer casing with a lid, and a rivet placed outside the outer casing. The current collecting member includes a plate-shaped portion placed along the lid. The rivet includes a through part extending through the lid, and a contact part contacting a first surface of the plate-shaped portion. A part of a peripheral end portion of the contact part is joined to the first surface. An edge portion of a non-joined portion of the peripheral end portion, facing the first surface, includes a tapered surface generating a gap smaller at a position closer to the through part. The tapered surface has a maximum size of 0.1 mm or more in a direction from the peripheral end portion to the through part and 0.03 mm or more in a thickness direction of the peripheral end portion.
