Thus, the amount of compressive deformation of the gasket is
By setting the initial compressive stress due to the compressive deformation to be smaller than the compressive yield stress, the combined stress of the initial compressive stress due to the compressive deformation in the gasket and the compressive stress due to an increase in the container internal pressure is suppressed to within the compressive yield stress. It becomes possible. Further, when the pressure inside the container rapidly changes from high pressure to low pressure, fine movement (small deformation or displacement) of the container and the sealing lid occurs, but there is room for the gasket to deform following such fine movement. Therefore, in such a case, leakage of the electrolyte from the upper opening of the container can be prevented.

Further, since the gasket is made of a synthetic resin, the amount of compressive deformation is set such that the initial compressive stress due to the compressive deformation is within 80% of the compressive yield stress, as described above, thereby reducing the stress. An excessive decrease in the compressive stress due to the phenomenon can be suppressed. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the electrolyte from leaking from the upper opening of the container for a long period of time.
