An electric double layer capacitor using a non-aqueous solvent electrolyte has a problem in that when moisture in the air enters the electrolyte, the electrolysis voltage of the electrolyte decreases or the non-aqueous solvent electrolyte is decomposed. There was a point. Therefore, in an electric double-layer capacitor using a non-aqueous solvent electrolyte, a storage container is sealed and sealed so that moisture in the atmosphere does not enter the electric double-layer capacitor. When an electric double layer capacitor is used for a power source of an automobile or the like, it is important that the mass is small and the energy density per mass is large, in addition to electric characteristics such as capacitance. For this reason, when used for power sources such as automobiles,
It is considered that an electric double layer capacitor using a flexible exterior material obtained by laminating a synthetic resin film having a small mass with aluminum foil or the like instead of using the metal can as the exterior material is considered to be preferable.

In the case of an increase in internal pressure due to generation of gas in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery such as a lithium ion battery, it is common that chemical change proceeds and the function as a battery is lost, and the battery cannot be recovered. . Therefore, a non-returnable pressure release valve provided in these batteries has been used in which a thin portion is cut or broken.
