A method for manufacturing a cylindrical battery includes allowing a cylindrical battery case (5) with a bottom to contain an electrode plate group, carrying out a groove-forming processing on an outside periphery of an opening of the battery case, disposing a sealing plate in the opening of the battery case through a gasket, and crimping and sealing the end of the opening of the battery case. In a groove-forming processing process in which the battery case is rotated and a rotatable groove-forming roller (15) comes into contact with and is gradually pushed into the outside periphery of the opening of the battery case in a state where a core (12) corresponding to the diameter of the opening of the battery case is fitted into the opening of the battery case to support the battery case from the inner peripheral side, a rotational speed is increased in accordance with increase in the diameter of the battery case so that the push-in amount of the groove-forming roller per unit rotation perimeter and per unit of time approximately becomes a certain value even if the size of the diameter of the battery case varies. Thus, a common groove-forming processing device can carry out the groove-forming processing on battery cases of different battery sizes to manufacture cylindrical batteries. |
