Abstract
A battery including a battery cell provided with an electrode terminal protruding from a side, a circuit board attached along sides of the battery cell, and a resin mould section which partially covers the circuit board and the battery cell, thereby integrating them. The circuit board includes rigid base sections for mounting components, and a flexible base section which connects between the rigid base sections and can bend flexibly. The rigid base section is provided with a pierced aperture, which pierces the rigid base section in the thickness direction, and into which an electrode terminal is fitted, and an electrically conductive material which is electrically connected to the wiring of the rigid base section, and electrically connected to the electrode terminal provided in the pierced aperture. The circuit board may be easily positioned in relation to the battery cell.
