Abstract
An object is to provide a sealed battery with reduced electric resistance from a power generation element to an external terminal of the battery and a method of manufacturing the same. A sealed batterycomprises a power generation elementincluding positive electrode plateseach having a positive electrode active material layer and negative electrode plateseach having a negative electrode active material layer, which are alternately arranged. The power generation elementis configured such that negative electrode lead portionsof the negative electrode platesare provided extending in a predetermined direction. Further, the sealed batteryincludes a battery casehousing the power generation element. This battery caseincludes a negative-electrode case membermade of an electrically conductive material and serving as a negative collector plate to which the negative electrode lead portionsare connected.
