Abstract
A secondary battery includes an electrode body that includes a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate; an outer body that houses the electrode body; a sealing plate that is made of metal and seals an opening of the outer body; and a positive electrode terminal that is electrically connected to the positive electrode plate. At least part of the positive electrode terminal is disposed on the battery outer side with respect to the sealing plate. An external insulating member made of resin is disposed between the sealing plate and the positive electrode terminal. The conduction path between the positive electrode plate and the positive electrode terminal is provided with a current interrupting mechanism. An electrically insulating, heat-resistant layer is disposed between the positive electrode terminal and the sealing plate.
