For batteries configured as above, the adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive on the shrink label may decrease due to the temperature applied to the battery during transportation or storage, the humidity around the battery, or direct sunlight on the battery. This may cause the end of the shrink label to peel off or the shrink tube to shrink further.
Even if the shrink tube becomes susceptible to tearing due to tensile stress, and the heat-shrinkable exterior material such as the shrink label or shrink tube is peeled off or torn when the battery-using equipment is put in and taken out of the battery holder, the cathode can Since the resin insulator (9) attached to the outer peripheral surface of the sealing part (1A) of (1) covers the open end of the positive electrode can (1), which is the tip of the sealing part (1A), the negative electrode of the battery holder・Even if metal materials such as side connection terminals come into contact with each other, an external short circuit between the negative terminal plate (8) and the positive electrode can (1) does not occur, which reduces battery life due to external short circuits that occur in conventional batteries. This prevents damage to the battery holder due to electrolyte leakage, battery heat generation, etc.
