A flanged portion standing out from the case, located around the hole is formed, a reinforcing member is fitted to the outer periphery of the flanged portion that reinforces against the outward force applied to the flanged portion, and the terminal and the insulating member are inserted into the flanged portion, and then the flanged portion is press-fitted from the outside of the case for fixing the terminal to the hole. The battery may have a high sealing property at the fitted portion among the case and the terminal.
