Abstract
Provided is a battery cell that allow the inner surfaces of connection strips of a current collector to be brought into contact with the outermost circumferential surface of a layered electrode portion of a power generating element while preventing the connection strips from scratching the layered electrode portion. The battery cell includes: a power generating element formed of cathode and anode sheets that are wound up with a separator interposed between the cathode and anode sheets, the power generating element having a layered electrode portion on at least one side of the winding axis direction, the layered electrode portion being one of a cathode and an anode; a current collector having a connection strip arranged along an outermost circumferential surface of the layered electrode portion, the current collector being conductively connected to an external terminal; and a clamp including a first clamp portion that clamps the layered electrode portion and a second clamp portion that clamps the layered electrode portion clamped by the first clamp portion and the connection strip of the current collector together.
