Abstract
An energy storage device includes a positive electrode terminal, a first electrode body and a second electrode body, and a positive electrode current collector electrically connecting the positive electrode terminal and the first and second electrode bodies. The positive electrode current collector includes a terminal connection portion electrically connected to the positive electrode terminal, inner electrode body connection portions connected to the first and second electrode bodies, and a coupling portion extending from an end of the terminal connection portion and coupling the terminal connection portion and the inner electrode body connection portions. The coupling portion has a substantially trapezoidal shape with a width at a connection end with the end of the terminal connection portion being larger than a width at a connection end with the inner electrode body connection portions.
