Patent ID: 8420255

Claim:
A storage cell comprising: a storage element having a cross section having substantially a rectangular shape, the storage element including a first electrode and a second electrode which are opposite to each other in a direction perpendicular to the cross section of the storage element; a first terminal bonded to the first electrode; a second terminal bonded to the second electrode; and an outer resin having a cross section having substantially a rectangular shape, the outer resin covering the storage element to expose an outer surface of the first terminal and an outer surface of the second terminal from the outer resin, wherein the outer resin has a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface, the first surface and the second surface being opposite to each other in a direction perpendicular to the cross section of the outer resin, the third surface connected with between the first surface and the second surface, the first terminal is exposed on the first surface of the outer resin, the second terminal has a shape extending along the first surface and the third surface, and is exposed on the first surface of the outer resin, and the storage element includes: a first case having a cross section having substantially a rectangular shape, the first case having a first open end, the first case being conductive and functioning as the first electrode, an insulation gasket having a cross section having substantially a rectangular loop shape, the gasket being provided at the first open end of the first case, and a second case having a cross section having substantially a rectangular shape, the second case having a second open end facing the first open end of the first case across the gasket, the second case being conductive and functioning as the second electrode, the first terminal includes: a first joined portion bonded to the first electrode of the storage element; a first stepped portion extending from the first joined portion in a direction away from the storage element to an outside of the outer resin; and a first connection portion extending from the first stepped portion along the first surface of the outer resin, the second terminal includes: a second joined portion bonded to the second electrode of the storage element; a second stepped portion extending from the second joined portion in a direction away from the storage element to an outside of the outer resin; and a second connection portion extending from the second stepped portion, the second connection portion of the second terminal extends from the second stepped portion along the exterior of second surface, the third surface, and the first surface of the outer resin.
