<p>A battery includes a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, a separator interposed between the first and second electrode plates, a closed-end cylindrical metal case accommodating these three elements, and a sealing member sealing an opening of the metal case with an insulating member interposed therebetween. The first and second electrode plates are wound with the separator interposed therebetween to form a wound electrode group. A center axis portion of the wound electrode group is substantially the same as a center axis of a cylinder of the metal case, and contains no power-generating element. A first current collector lead coupled to the first electrode plate extends toward the opening of the metal case, and joined to an inner sidewall surface of the metal case. A second current collector lead coupled to the second electrode plate extends toward the opening of the metal case, and joined to the sealing member.</p> |
