Abstract: A battery pack is provided which can be suitably used in a case where charging of a dedicated secondary battery in a portable terminal device is difficult. The battery pack is mounted in a battery mounting section in a portable cellular phone (portable terminal device) proper. In the battery pack, alkaline accumulators are connected in series. Alkaline accumulators generate electromotive forces having a voltage (3V) being lower than that of the dedicated secondary battery. A power source circuit has a boosting-type DC/DC converter which boosts a voltage of the alkaline accumulators being connected in series at a level being same as that of the dedicated secondary battery (for example, 4.5V), and outputs the boosted voltage. An electrical double layer capacitor has a capacity to feed stable power to an internal circuit in which power consumption increases or decreases in a burst manner and is charged by application of an output of the power source circuit and stores the power.

Abstract: An external cathode terminal (16) is adhered to one surface of a capacitor element while a prepreg (25) is adhered to another surface of the capacitor element. A reinforcement plate (26) is adhered to the prepreg. Heat and pressure are applied to the external cathode terminal, the prepreg, and the reinforcement plate to elute thermosetting resin from the prepreg in the side of the capacitor element, thereby sealing the side of the capacitor element with eluted material (27A, 27B). Inasmuch as transfer molding is not used as exterior package, the element never deforms by injection pressure of resin. It is possible to thin by a thickness of exterior package resin. Inasmuch as eluted thermosetting resin does not include a mold release agent, it has good adhesion for the external cathode terminal.

The first and the second conductors and the dielectric layer serve as a capacitance forming portion. The thickness of the first conductor is selected to substantially restrict temperature elevation of the first conductor, which is caused by DC direct current flowing in the first conductor.
