CONDUCTOR FOR CONNECTING TERMINALS, ASSEMBLED BATTERY, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING ASSEMBLED BATTERY

摘要

A conductor for connecting terminals of a battery in which a conductor for connecting terminals (8) may be easily welded to both positive-electrode terminal (1) and negative-electrode terminal (4), and an assembled battery using the same are provided. The conductor for connecting terminals (8) is formed in such a manner that a plate-shaped part (8a) including an aluminum member is overlapped with a plate-shaped part including a second metal having a melting point higher than that of the aluminum member, a first region having the exposed aluminum member and a second region having the exposed second metal are formed on one surface, and the second metal is exposed to a region opposed to the second region, on the other surface. The conductor for connecting terminals (8) connects the positive-electrode terminal (1) including the aluminum member of a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery (7) to the negative-electrode terminal (4) of another battery. The first region of the conductor for connecting terminals (8) is brought in contact with the positive-electrode terminal (1) and connected and fixed thereto by welding, and the second region thereof is brought in contact with the negative-electrode terminal (4) and connected and fixed thereto by welding.
