- the terminal electrodes 71d and 72d are pressed.
- the metal layer 322d is a flat surface with inner openings 91 and 92. That is, when the power generation element 2 and the inner terminal electrodes 71d and 72d are pressed, the uneven surface 81d and 82d are formed on the metal layer 322d, and the uneven surface 61d and the uneven surface 81d and the uneven surface 62d and the uneven surface 82d are formed. Engage.
- the relative positioning between the power generation element 2 and the laminated film 3d can be easily performed, and the battery 1d with high reliability can be realized.
- the outer terminal electrodes 73d and 74d are formed at each of the outer openings 93 and 94 so as to be electrically connected to the metal layer 322d.
- the outer openings 93 and 94 By providing the outer openings 93 and 94, current can be taken out from the power generation element 2 at each of the outer openings 93 and 94 via the metal layer 322d. Therefore, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in designing the current extraction from the battery 1d.
- each of the outer terminal electrodes 73d and 74d can draw current from each of the outer openings 93 and 94, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to improve the degree of freedom in design such as the arrangement of the outer terminal electrodes 73d and 74d.
- the elastic modulus of the structure may be larger than the elastic modulus of the inner terminal electrode and the elastic modulus of the metal layer body.
- the hardness of the structure may be larger than the hardness of the inner terminal electrode and the hardness of the metal layer.
- the hardness is defined by, for example, Rockwell hardness, Vickers hardness, Brinell hardness, shore hardness, and the like, but is not limited thereto.
- the battery according to the present disclosure can be used, for example, as an in-vehicle battery or a battery included in various electronic devices.
