よる。When connecting to an external device using a battery as a power source, an automobile, a charger, etc., this is usually connected to the battery terminal via a connecting wire terminal having a deformable portion such as a lead wire. Since it is designed to be flexible with respect to the position of the battery terminal,
This was because it was not necessary to make the distances to the two sides the same, and it was convenient to make them unevenly distributed in terms of the battery internal structure, terminal structure, manufacturing method, manufacturing equipment, and the like.

でコストが高くつくという問題がある。Recently, there has been an increasing demand for an assembled battery in which a plurality of storage batteries are combined and a monoblock battery having a high voltage of 12 V or more. In the case of an assembled battery, the terminal and the external device are connected by a plate-shaped connecting body instead of the lead wire because the voltage is high and therefore the risk of a short circuit or the like is high. Since the plate-like connector is less flexible than the lead wire, it is necessary to prepare various suitable plate-like connectors according to the distance between the terminal position of the storage battery and the terminal position of the device. The preparation of such various plate-shaped connectors has a problem that the work is complicated and the cost is high.

も周知である。BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the first aspect of the present invention, "equal distances between two adjacent side surfaces" do not mean that they are completely the same distance, but within a range permitted by the connecting body. It may be different. Also close to the terminal 2
It is preferable that the distance from one side surface is the same for both the pair of terminals, but it may be only one side depending on the usage of the storage battery. In that case, how much the distance between the terminal and the two side surfaces adjacent to each other is set is a design matter that can be appropriately set depending on the usage of the storage battery according to the present invention. Further, the shape and material of the terminal are irrelevant to the gist of the present invention, and can be appropriately selected. It is also well known that the prismatic storage battery has irregularities such as ribs and handles on its side surface, and that the storage battery includes an alkaline storage battery, a lithium ion secondary battery, etc. in addition to the lead storage battery.

ある。In the second invention, the term "plate-shaped connecting body" is a general term for a connecting body having no flexibility, and its form is not necessarily limited to a plate-like shape, and may be a round bar shape or a square shape. It may be plate-shaped. Although a known material and connection method with the terminal can be adopted, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the hole formed in the plate-like connector 12 is fitted to the terminal 11 having the male screw portion 16, The method of fixing with the nut 15 is simple. At this time, the plain washer 13 and the spring washer 14 may be used if necessary. The external device is a general term for devices that exchange electricity with the storage battery according to the present invention, such as a charger, a storage battery, an automobile electronic device, and the like.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, in the structure in which the positive and negative electrodes are collectively connected by the external device terminal which is an integrated module, the battery and the device are more independent than the case where the positive and negative electrodes are independent. In addition to being convenient when the frequency of attachment and detachment is high, it is also advantageous in terms of safety such that there is little risk of short circuit and electric shock is prevented when the voltage is high.
