3. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein a recessed portion is provided on a surface of the insulating block, and the recessed portion is filled with the molded resin portion to secure the insulating block to the molded resin portion.

4. The battery pack according to claim 1 , further comprising a fastened lead plate connected to a protruding terminal of the battery, the fastened lead plate being provided in the insulating block, and the insulating block is provided with a connection opening which opens upwardly of a connection portion of the fastened lead plate.

5. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating block is formed of plastic that will not deform at the temperature of soldering.

6. The battery pack according to claim 1 , further comprising a temperature sensor connected to the output terminal, wherein a temperature signal is provided from the output terminal in a state in which the breaker mechanism is opened.

7. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein a stopper for the movable arm is provided on and protrudes from an interior surface of the holding chamber.

8. A battery pack comprising:

a battery including a terminal;

a molded resin portion which holds a part of or the whole of the battery inserted thereto;

an insulating block which is provided with a breaker mechanism for cutting-off current flow when an over-current flow, the insulating block being held by inserted in the molded resin portion,

an externally exposed output terminal connected to a surface of the insulating block, wherein the output terminal held by the insulating block is held at a prescribed position so as to be externally exposed from the molded resin portion; and

a drawn-out lead plate fastened to the terminal of the battery and fastened to the insulating block,

wherein the drawn-out lead plate protrudes from one end of the insulating block, and an end of the protruded part is connected to the terminal of the battery,

wherein the drawn-out lead plate is provided with a bent portion that is bent in a direction that protrudes from the end face of the terminal at its fore end, and

wherein the drawn-out lead plate is bent in a U-shape, and the insulating block is opposed to a terminal surface which the drawn-out lead plate is fastened to, and the insulating block has an insertion recessed portion into which the bent portion of the drawn-out lead plate is fitted, and the insulating block is positioned at the prescribed position of the end face of the terminal in the state that the bent portion is inserted into the insertion recessed portion.

9. The battery pack according to claim 8 , wherein the insulating block includes a base block and a cover block, and the base block and the cover block are formed of a plastic that will not deform at a temperature of reflow soldering.

10. The battery pack according to claim 8 , wherein the insulating block includes width adjustment protruding portions which are integrally formed on opposite sides of the insulating block, wherein the outer width defined by outermost parts of the adjustment protruding portions is the same as a thickness of the battery.

11. A battery pack comprising:

a battery;

a molded resin portion which holds a part of or the whole of the battery inserted thereto;

an insulating block which is provided with a breaker mechanism for cutting-off current flow upon detection of an over-current flow, the insulating block being held by being inserted in the molded resin portion; and

externally exposed output terminals secured to a surface of the insulating block, wherein the output terminals held by the insulating block are held at a prescribed position so as to be externally exposed from the molded resin portion; and

an electronic component connected by soldering to adjacent ones of the output terminals, wherein opposing surfaces of the adjacent output terminal define opposing notch portions, and the notch portions are formed in opposing edges surfaces of the adjacent output terminals, and an area between the notch portions is filled with resin.

12. The battery pack according to claim 11 , wherein the electronic component is fastened to the back surfaces of the adjacent output terminals by soldering, and an insulating portion for preventing the spread of solder is formed integrally with the insulating block in a periphery of an area where the electronic component is soldered.
