Abstract

A battery includes a battery casing, a lid member, and a pair of terminals. The battery casing has an opening and a battery element stowed in the inside, and is formed of a film material. The lid member is stowed in the opening and is adhered to an opening edge of the battery casing, thereby hermetically sealing the opening. The pair of terminals are provided to the lid member.

Claims (22)

1. A battery, comprising:

a battery casing which has an opening, which stows a battery element in the inside, and which is formed of a film material;

a lid member which is stowed in the opening and which is adhered to an opening edge of the battery casing to thereby hermetically seal the opening; and

a pair of terminals provided to the lid member,

wherein the lid member has:

a base portion where the pair of terminals are provided; and a tab portion which is provided to the base portion and which extends along a first direction, and

wherein a width of the tab portion along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction is narrower than a width of the base portion along the second direction.

2. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein a peripheral surface of the base portion to which the opening edge adheres and a peripheral surface of the tab portion to which the opening edge adheres are smoothly continuous to one another.

3. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the lid member and the opening edge of the battery casing are rendered to be in an adhered state by depressurizing.

4. The battery according to claim 2 , wherein the lid member and the opening edge of the battery casing are rendered to be in an adhered state by depressurizing.

5. A battery, comprising:

a battery casing which has an opening, which stows a battery element in the inside, and which is formed of a film material;

a lid member which is stowed in the opening and which is adhered to an opening edge of the battery casing to thereby hermetically seal the opening; and

a pair of terminals provided to the lid member,

wherein the pair of terminals provided to the lid member are each shaped like a pillar and each pass through the lid member,

wherein the lid member has:

a base portion where the pair of terminals are provided; and

a tab portion which is provided to the base portion and which extends along a first direction and

wherein a width of the tab portion along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction is narrower than a width of the base portion along the second direction.

6. The battery according to claim 5 , wherein a peripheral surface of the base portion to which the opening edge adheres and a peripheral surface of the tab portion to which the opening edge adheres are smoothly continuous to one another.

7. The battery according to claim 5 , wherein the lid member and the opening edge of the battery casing are rendered to be in an adhered state by depressurizing.

8. The battery according to claim 6 , wherein the lid member and the opening edge of the battery casing are rendered to be in an adhered state by depressurizing.
