A storage device, which has a simple structure and a low connection resistance and is robust, and which is ease to mount is provided. In the storage device, an L-shaped aluminum busbarprotrudes from the center of the top of a sealing plateto the right. The busbarhas a barrel portionand a projecting parthorizontally protruding from the top end of the barrel portion. A terminal holeis made in an end of the projecting part, so that the positive electrode of another unitary cell to be connected in series can be connected. The barrel portionof the busbaris welded to the sealing plateand the length of the projecting partis minimized. Accordingly, the device is robust and has a low resistance, and consequently can deal with a large current.
