When the lead terminal (1) is spot-welded to the negative electrode terminal plate (2) as described above, a large amount of heat is also applied to the lithium negative electrode (7), which causes a part of the lithium to melt. By the way, the melting point of lithium is about 186 ° C, but the welding temperature during spot welding must be raised to 1,100 ° C. Therefore, when the lithium is melted as described above, if the thickness of the lithium negative electrode (7) is thin, the molten lithium (7a) near the spot welding point (12) is separated by the separator ( 6)
Passing through, an electric circuit is created with the positive electrode (3) to cause an internal short circuit. However, when the thickness of the lithium negative electrode (7) is sufficient, as shown in FIG. 5, the melting of the lithium negative electrode (7) stops in the middle of the thickness and does not reach the separator (6), causing an internal short circuit. Absent.

In practice, it is desirable that the lead terminal (1) be bent and bent at 90 degrees and have a peel strength of 2 to 3 kg. For that purpose, it is easy to weld the lead body which becomes the lead terminal such as nickel wire. It is necessary to compress the tip part to be used for welding into a flat shape so that the flat part (1a) has a thickness of 0.2 to 0.4 mm. That is, if the thickness of the flat part (1a), which is the welded part of the lead terminal (1), is less than 0.2 mm, the strength required for the lead terminal (1) cannot be secured, and if it is more than 0.4 mm, it will be spot-welded. Requires a lot of heat,
As a result, melting of lithium occurs and an internal short circuit easily occurs. And in order to spot weld this product so that the above-mentioned welding strength can be obtained, as welding conditions, a stored energy of 30 W.S, energizing time of 2 mS, and pressing force of 2 kg are required. preferable. Under such welding conditions, if the thickness of the lithium negative electrode (7) is less than 0.6 mm, internal short circuit is likely to occur due to melting, and at least
A thickness of 0.6 mm, preferably 0.65 mm or more is required.
