Abstract
An outer casing of a non-aqueous electrolyte battery is capable of being mass-produced as well as thin and resistant to damage. The outer casingcomprises a casing bodyand a cover. After being internally packaged, a non-aqueous electrolyte battery, e.g. a lithium-ion polymer secondary battery, is sandwiched between the casing bodyand the cover, which are then joined together integrally. The coveris formed from a film-shaped sheet materialof a synthetic resin to make the outer casingthin. The casing bodyand the coverhave a casing body outer peripheral frameand a cover outer peripheral frame, respectively, formed by injection molding. Joint portions of the casing bodyand the coverhave stepped portionsand, respectively. The stepped portions ensure the mechanical strength against shock and impact. With this structure, the outer casingis resistant to damage.
