Abstract
Cell-to-cell connection plates () each integrally having a welding part () shaped to fall within a circular end of a battery case () and a connecting part () extending from this welding part () are provided. The cell-to-cell connection plates () are attached to one electrode terminal and the other electrode terminal of the battery case () by welding the welding parts (), respectively. The connecting parts () of the respective cell-to-cell connection plates () attached to each adjoining pair of cylindrical batteries (Ba) are overlapped with each other and coupled into electric connection. Consequently, regardless of whether a plurality of cylindrical batteries (Ba) are axially arranged in series or radially juxtaposed, each adjoining two can be connected to each other by using the identical cell-to-cell connection plates () for cost reduction. It is also possible to provide a sufficient heat dissipation effect and achieve sufficient robustness and weight saving even when connecting large-sized cylindrical batteries.
