Abstract:
A protection element attachment tab made of a single flat metal plate and mounted on positive and negative electrode terminals of a cylindrical cell to connect between the positive electrode terminal formed on one end surface of the cell and the negative electrode terminal formed on another end surface of the cell with a protection element that prevents overdischarge between the electrode terminals. The protection element attachment tab includes a planar region facing the end surface when mounted on the electrode terminal; a first protrusion protruding from the planar region in a direction along the planar region, a leading end of the first protrusion protruding outward from the end surface of the cell when the planar region is mounted on the electrode terminal; and a second protrusion shorter than the first protrusion, protruding from the planar region in a direction different from the first protrusion along the planar region.

Claim (Index 6):
A battery pack comprising:\n a plurality of cylindrical cells; a protection element including a body and a pair of element lead wires extending to one side and another side from the body, the protection element preventing overdischarge between a positive electrode terminal formed on one end surface of each cell of the plurality of cells and a negative electrode terminal formed on another end surface of each cell of the plurality of cells; the parallel fixing components according to  claim 4 ; a connecting tab electrically connecting the plurality of cells in series or in parallel; and a jacket that covers the plurality of cells, the parallel fixing components, the connecting tab and the protection element, the protruding piece portions of a pair of the parallel fixing components attached to both end surfaces of the plurality of cells including leading ends that face each other in a V-shaped groove area formed between the cells adjacent each other, the connecting tab being attached between predetermined electrode terminals of the plurality of cells exposed outward through the openings of the bottom, the body of the protection element being along the protruding piece portions and being disposed in an area extending across a facing position of leading ends of the protruding piece portions, the pair of element lead wires being along an extending direction of the protruding piece portions and being connected to the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal, respectively.
