Abstract

An electrical storage device includes a casing that has an opening, an electrode assembly that is placed inside the casing, a terminal plate that is electrically connected to the electrode assembly, and a holder that is provided to surround the terminal plate, the terminal plate having a step or a slope in an area in which the terminal plate comes in contact with the holder.

Claims (45)

1. An electrical storage device comprising:

a casing;

an electrode assembly that is placed inside the casing;

a terminal plate that is electrically connected to the electrode assembly; and

a holder that is provided to surround the terminal plate,

the terminal plate having a step or a slope in an area in which the terminal plate comes in contact with the holder,

an area of a first plane of the terminal plate that is situated on an outer side being larger than an area of a second plane of the terminal plate that is situated opposite to the first plane,

a third side of the terminal plate that connects the first plane and the second plane having the step or the slope,

the terminal plate having a shape that has a side extending along a longitudinal direction in a plan view,

a dimension of the first plane in the longitudinal direction being the same as a dimension of the second plane in the longitudinal direction, and

a ratio of a dimension of the first plane in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to a dimension of the second plane in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction being 1.1 to 1.5.

2. The electrical storage device according to claim 1 ,

the electrical storage device being a lithium-ion capacitor.

3. An electrical storage module comprising:

the electrical storage device according to claim 1 ,

the first plane of the terminal plate included in the electrical storage device being electrically connected to the first plane of the terminal plate included in another electrical storage device through a connection member.

4. The electrical storage device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a hole is formed in the terminal plate, and

the holder has a protrusion that is situated in the hole.

5. The electrical storage device according to claim 2 ,

wherein a hole is formed in the terminal plate, and

the holder has a protrusion that is situated in the hole.

6. An electrical storage module comprising:

the electrical storage device according to claim 1 ,

the first plane of the terminal plate included in the electrical storage device being electrically connected to the first plane of the terminal plate included in another electrical storage device through a connection member.

7. The electrical storage device according to claim 1 ,

the electrical storage device comprising two terminal plates,

one of the terminal plates being a negative electrode terminal plate, and

the other of the terminal plates being a positive electrode terminal plate.

8. The electrical storage device according to claim 2 ,

the electrical storage device comprising two terminal plates,

one of the terminal plates being a negative electrode terminal plate, and

the other of the terminal plates being a positive electrode terminal plate.

9. An electrical storage device comprising:

a casing;

an electrode assembly that is placed inside the casing;

a terminal plate that is electrically connected to the electrode assembly; and

a holder that is provided to surround the terminal plate,

the terminal plate having a step or a slope in an area in which the terminal plate comes in contact with the holder, wherein

a hole is formed in the terminal plate, and

the holder has a protrusion that is situated in the hole.

10. The electrical storage device according to claim 9 ,

the electrical storage device comprising two terminal plates,

one of the terminal plates being a negative electrode terminal plate, and

the other of the terminal plates being a positive electrode terminal plate.
