However, for thin lithium batteries with a thickness of 1.0 mm or less, due to thickness restrictions, sealing is performed by pressing a synthetic resin gasket against the sealing plate by caulking the open end of the metal container. Therefore, the positive electrode,
Battery elements such as a negative electrode and a separator are interposed between the positive electrode current collector plate and the negative electrode current collector plate, and the peripheral edge of the positive electrode current collector plate and the peripheral edge of the negative electrode current collector plate are bonded with adhesive to form a positive electrode collector. A sealing method is used that insulates the electric plate and the negative current collector plate while sealing the gap between the two. As the adhesive used for this adhesive sealing, hot melt adhesives containing ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer as a polymer component were conventionally used (
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-103280).
