  • the axial position of the first flat part 83 located at the tip of the rolled-up part 45 of the outer can 16 is the same as the axial position of the second flat part 85 located at the tip of the terminal cap 27. The location is almost the same. Therefore, laser welding of the pair of lead tabs 290 for negative electrode connection and lead tabs 291 for positive electrode connection can be easily performed, and the productivity of the battery pack can be greatly improved.
  • the present inventor actually performed laser welding of the lead tab 290 described in FIGS. 6 and 7 and the lead tab 291 for positive electrode connection on 10 samples, and visually confirmed the thermal effect after welding. Specifically, the cylindrical battery 210 of the comparative example was subjected to a destructive inspection after welding, and the presence or absence of melting of the gasket 228 was visually confirmed. Table 2 shows the results.
  • both the lead tab 290 for negative electrode connection and the lead tab 291 for positive electrode connection can be laser welded to the upper side of the battery in the axial direction, and the productivity of the battery pack can be greatly improved.
  • 10,110 cylindrical battery 11 positive electrode, 12 negative electrode, 13 separator, 14 electrode body, 16,116 outer can, 17 sealing body, 18 upper insulating plate, 19 lower insulating plate, 20 positive electrode lead, 21 negative electrode lead, 23, 123 washer (first metal member), 27 terminal cap (second metal member), 28 gasket (insulating member), 28a accommodating section, 31,131 washer winding part (second winding part), 32 washer annular groove, 39 Annular groove of gasket, 42 Corner part, 43 Cylindrical part, 45,145 Rewinding part of outer can (first rewinding part), 68 Bottom plate part, 68a Bottom surface, 71 Thin wall part, 72 Safety valve, 80 Rewinding fixing structure, 83 No. 1 plane part, 85 2nd plane part.
