1. An electricity storage device comprising:
an electrode assembly that includes
a positive electrode including a side and a tab that projects from the side,a negative electrode including a side and a tab that projects from the side,a resin separator that includes a side and insulates the positive electrode from the negative electrode, anda tab-side end surface that includes the side of the negative electrode and the side of the separator when the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the separator are stacked; a case that accommodates the electrode assembly, wherein the case includes a wall opposed to the tab-side end surface; an electrode terminal fixed to the wall of the case; and a conductive member that electrically connects the tab of the positive electrode and the electrode terminal, wherein the electrode terminal and the tab-side end surface are opposed to each other in the case with the electrode member located in between, wherein the separator includes a first separator portion and a second separator portion that are opposed and thermally welded to each other, the separator includes an accommodation portion that receives a portion of the positive electrode excluding the tab, the first separator portion includes an edge and an extension that extends from the accommodation portion to the edge, the second separator portion includes an edge and an extension that extends from the accommodation portion to the edge, the separator includes a welded portion, formed by thermally welding the extension of the first separator portion and the extension of the second separator portion, and a tab opposing portion that covers a basal portion of the positive electrode tab, the welded portion includes opposing parts located at opposite sides of the tab opposing portion in a direction extending along the side of the separator, each of the opposing parts is opposed to the electrode terminal with the conductive member located in between, each of the opposing parts is configured to have a greater contraction amount than other parts of the welded portion when thermally welded, the conductive member is formed by bending a metal plate in a crank-shaped manner, wherein the conductive member includes a tab-side welding piece, a bent portion, and a terminal-side welding piece, the tab-side welding piece is located at one side of the bent portion in the conductive member and connected to the tab, the terminal-side welding piece is located at the other side of the bent portion in the conductive member and connected to the electrode terminal, and the terminal-side welding piece is opposed to the opposing part and located closer to the tab-side end surface than the tab-side welding piece. |
