Abstract
The present disclosure is to suppress the scratching of or damage to an exterior body or current collectors caused by displacement of terminals connected to electrode bodies when a battery expands or contracts. The displacement of terminals when a battery expands or contracts is prevented by arranging the protruding positions of the terminals side by side with at least one of a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal formed in a crank-like shape, and supporting the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal by a holder.
