A terminal component includes an external terminal that is provided above a cover covering an electrode body; and an internal terminal that is provided below the cover and extends through a through-hole of the external terminal. A part of the internal terminal protrudes above the external terminal. A dimension of the part of the internal terminal in a radial direction of the through-hole is larger than a diameter of the through-hole. The external terminal has a joint surface that is a first part of an upper surface of the external terminal and that is joined to the internal terminal, and a non-joint surface that is a second part of the upper surface of the external terminal and that is located outside the joint surface. The joint surface is located higher than at least part of the non-joint surface.

Terminal component and method of manufacturing terminal component

Disclosed is a secondary battery capable of preventing damage to a current interrupt device caused by generation and transmission of vibration, and thereby achieving prevention of malfunction of the current interrupt device, and improvement of quality of the secondary battery. In addition, disclosed is a method of manufacturing the secondary battery. Specifically disclosed is a secondary battery, in which a positive electrode terminal is placed on the upper face of a sealing plate, a holder is placed on the lower face of the sealing plate, and the sealing plate is joined to the positive electrode terminal and the holder by a rivet. The secondary battery includes an adhered portion for adhering the holder to the sealing plate.

Secondary battery and method for producing secondary battery

The invention provides a manufacturing method of a sealed battery that includes a power generating element, a housing member, a lid member, a collector terminal member, and a first insulating member. This manufacturing method includes compressing the first insulating member with a protruding portion of the lid member. The method includes measuring a position of the lid member and a compression load applied by the lid member, and stopping compressing when a slope of the change in the compression load with respect to the position of the lid member reaches a predetermined value.
