Patent ID: 8637190

Claim:
A battery unit comprising: a solid-state battery including a first composite layer having a glass ceramic containing fired sulfide glass and a positive-side active material encapsulated within said fired sulfide glass, a second composite layer having a glass ceramic containing fired sulfide glass and a negative-side active material encapsulated within said fired sulfide glass, a solid-state electrolyte layer located between said first composite layer and said second composite layer, and having a glass ceramic having fired sulfide without containing a positive-side active material and a negative-side active material; a case storing said solid-state battery; a load sensor provided on said case; and a clamp member clamping said case and said load sensor. said first composite layer, second composite layer and solid-state electrolyte layer formed together as a single unit by firing said layers stacked together at a temperature higher than or equal to a glass transition point of said sulfide glass such that said positive-side active material and said negative-side active material are encapsulated within said sulfide glass.
