A sealed battery includes a return type safety valve. An annular projection that projects toward a valve body from a valve port is formed on a valve seat for the safety valve. The projection includes a first projection region and a second projection region that are defined by a shape of a tip of the projection and arranged in parallel in a circumferential direction of the valve port. The first projection region and second projection region have different curvature radii in a cross-section of the projection taken along an axial direction of the valve body. The pressure per unit area applied to the second projection region by the valve body is higher than the pressure per unit area applied to the first projection region by the valve body.

A sealed-type secondary battery is disclosed. A battery module of a sealed-type secondary battery is formed by heating and fusing a top lid member and an integrated battery container. The integrated battery container is formed with a polymer alloy including a polyphenylene ether resin and a polyolefin resin, and the top lid member or a lateral lid member is formed with a polypropylene-based resin. A nucleating agent is added to the polypropylene-based resin of the top lid member or the lateral lid member, to improve mechanical strength, and the molecular weight is increased to reduce a melt flow rate MFR to approximately the same degree as the polymer alloy.
