Abstract
An inter-battery connection device for connecting terminals of two batteries (1, 1) arranged with their axes parallel to each other. The inter-battery connection device includes an inter-battery connection plate () that connects the battery case bottom () and the sealing plate () of the two batteries. The inter-battery connection plate () includes welding portions () at the ends of its base plate () for welding to the case bottom () and the sealing plate (), respectively. An intermediate metal plate () is joined to the middle part of the base plate () between the welding portions () to form an intermediate portion () having a greater thickness than each welding portion (). The inter-battery connection device has reduced electric resistance while achieving improved weldability.
