<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thin battery supporting structure capable of maintaining an electric property of a thin battery by preventing a separator of the thin battery from deformation or damage caused by external force. <P>SOLUTION: A battery pack 20a equipped with the thin battery supporting structure comprises two thin batteries 10 which are composed by housing power generating elements having a plurality of separators in a battery outer package, a bus-bar 21, battery pack terminals 22, 23, and a lower case 24a and an upper case 25a for the battery pack contacting and supporting the thin batteries 10. Two thin batteries 10 are serially connected by the bus-bar 21 and the battery pack terminals 22, 23, and housed in the battery pack cases 24a, 25a. The battery pack lower case 24a has a depth D which is thinner than the thickness of the thin battery 10 before being housed in the battery pack cases 24a, 25a. When the thin batteries 10 connected as above are housed in the battery pack cases 24a, 25a, the thickness of the thin battery 10 is compressed into the thickness Ta', and the battery pack cases 24a, 25a impress a prescribed pressure on a plurality of separators of the respective thin batteries 10. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
