Abstract
A battery includes a winding electrode body, a battery case provided with a liquid inlet and positive and negative terminal members. The positive terminal member has a junction part compressed in a direction orthogonal to a winding axis direction. The negative terminal member has a junction part compressed in the direction orthogonal to the winding axis direction. The liquid inlet is positioned leaning to either the positive terminal junction part or the negative terminal junction part. In the winding electrode body, a separation distance from the junction part further away from the liquid inlet to the end lying on the relevant junction side in the winding axis direction is greater than a separation distance from the junction part closer to the liquid inlet to the end on the relevant junction side in the winding axis direction.
