The output terminal can include electrode slits that are opened to both the end surface and the first surface, and the electrode slits include electrodes to output power from the battery cell. First and second grooves can be provided in the first surface that extend away from the corner edge, where the output terminal is provided between the grooves in the lateral direction. Step surfaces can be provided that are stepped with respect to the first surface, and that include chamfered portions.
