This invention provides a storage module formed using a plurality of storage cells. The each storage cell includes a storage unit that stores a charge, a polyhedral container that houses the storage unit and has two opposing surfaces, and a pair of electrode terminals that output and input the charge of the storage unit. The electrode terminals include a positive electrode terminal that projects externally from an end portion of the container and has a joint surface that is formed to be substantially coplanar with one of the two opposing surfaces of the container and joined to an electrode terminal of an adjacent storage cell, and a negative electrode terminal that projects externally from the end portion of the container and has a joint surface that is formed to be substantially coplanar with another of the two surfaces and joined to an electrode terminal of an adjacent storage cell.

Storage module

A storage body comprises an electric energy storage unit and a case that houses the storage unit. The case comprises a frame-shaped outer shell body having two end surfaces that respectively include opening portions and a pair of laminate film pieces that are adhered to the respective end surfaces of the outer shell body so as to form a storage chamber inside the outer shell body. Each laminate film piece comprises an adhesion portion that is adhered to the outer shell body and a film portion that faces the storage chamber. The laminate film pieces, which are not formed by press-molding, are adhered to the outer shell body, and therefore structurally weak sites are not formed on the laminate film pieces.
