Abstract: A stationary electric power system including a low profile secondary battery that includes a battery body including an electric power generating element accommodated in an exterior package member. The low profile secondary battery includes a spacer disposed between the battery body and other battery body when the other battery body is stacked on the battery body. The spacer fixes the battery body in a predetermined position. The battery body and the spacer are connected with each other through an elastic body.

Abstract: A first cell unit (1A) has one side negative electrode terminal (15) at one side in a stacking direction when connecting the cell units (1) also has the other side positive electrode terminal 16 and the other side negative electrode terminal 17 at the other side in the stacking direction. A second cell unit (1B) has one side positive electrode terminal (24) and one side negative electrode terminal (25) at the one side in the stacking direction also has the other side positive electrode terminal (26) and the other side negative electrode terminal (27) at the other side in the stacking direction.

Abstract: Within outer cover member 111 of laminated film including resin layer 111c, there is installed electricity generating element 112 thereby to constitute battery body 11, peripheral portion 113 of the outer cover member being sealed. Spacer 12 is provided which has fixing portion 121 by which the battery body is fixed to predetermined position, the spacer being arranged between outer peripheral portion of the battery body and outer peripheral portion of another battery body put on the battery body. In range H1 that includes an overlapped portion 14 between the outer peripheral portion and the spacer and is provided at least around the fixing portion of the outer peripheral portion, there is provided elastic resin portion 13 produced through insert molding of elastic resin. This thin battery exhibits satisfied stability in set condition against vibration of motor vehicle. This thin battery exhibits satisfied fixing stability against vehicle vibration.

Abstract: A sealed nickel-metal hydride storage cell includes a positive electrode containing nickel as a positive electrode active material, a negative electrode containing a hydrogen-absorbing alloy as a negative electrode active material, a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode and an electrolyte immersing therein the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The negative electrode has a theoretical capacity larger than a theoretical capacity of the positive electrode so as to provide a charge reserve capacity when the positive electrode is in a fully charged state and to provide a discharge reserve capacity when the positive electrode is in a fully discharged state. A ratio of the charge reserve capacity to the discharge reserve capacity ranges from 1:0 to 1:0.5.

Abstract: An assembled storage battery unit of the collective type includes a plurality of storage batteries assembled as a unit. The storage batteries each include positive and negative electrodes layered through a separator and contained in a bottomed parallelepiped battery casing filled with electrolyte and a closure plate welded to an upper opening end of the battery casing to seal the interior of the battery casing. The battery casings each are integrally formed with a plurality of vertical ribs spaced in parallel at one side wall thereof faced to the corresponding side wall of the battery casing adjacent thereto. The vertical ribs of each of the battery casings are coupled with the corresponding vertical ribs of the battery casing adjacent thereto to form a plurality of vertical ventilation spaces.
