Patent ID: 8758918

Claim:
A battery comprising: a container; an electrode group comprising a positive electrode and a negative electrode and being accommodated in the container; a plurality of current collector tabs extended from a plurality of points of a current collector of at least one electrode of the positive electrode and the negative electrode in the electrode group; a lid closing an opening part of the container and having a through hole; a lead comprising a current collector tab junctional part connected with the current collector tabs electrically, a lid junctional part fixed to the lid and having a through hole, and a vibration absorber part linking the current collector tab junctional part to the lid junctional part; and a safety valve equipped on the lid, wherein the current collector has a belt-like shape, and the electrode group is accommodated in the container so that one long side of the current collector faces the lid and the other long side of the current collector faces a bottom of the container, wherein the lead is fixed to the lid by caulking with an electrode terminal, and the lead bent along a side separating the vibration absorber part from the lid junctional part, and the length X 1 of the vibration absorber part in a direction crossing at a right angle to an extending direction of the current collector tab is shorter than the length Y 1 of the current collector tab junctional part in a direction crossing at a right angle to an extending direction of the current collector tab, the electrode terminal has a rivet-like shape, and has a flange and an axis which extends from the flange, the axis of the electrode terminal is inserted into the through hole of the lid and the through hole of the lead, the axis of the electrode terminal is fixed to the lid and the lead by caulking, an end of the axis opposite to the flange has an enlarged diameter, and the current collector tab junctional part, the lid junctional part and the vibration absorber part are arranged between the lid and the electrode group.
