  • Publication number: 20180241014
    Abstract: A cylindrical battery includes a battery case, a cap, an electric insulating ring, and an outer package label. The battery case houses an electrode body therein, and is connected to negative electrodes. The cap includes a first projecting portion sealing a housing opening of the battery case and serving as a positive electrode projection, and a flat portion connected to the first projecting portion, a peripheral edge portion of the flat portion being located adjacent to the battery case with an electric insulator interposed therebetween. The electric insulating ring covers the flat portion and an adjacent portion between the flat portion and the battery case, and is formed with an exposure hole corresponding to the first projecting portion. A second projecting portion is provided on a surface of the flat portion that faces the electric insulating ring.
