<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent expansion of a battery caused by battery internal pressure rise. <P>SOLUTION: This battery is composed by housing an electrode body having a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and an electrolyte in a rectangular armoring can. The battery is characterized in that a recessed part projecting toward the inside of the armoring can is formed in a central region of a side surface having the largest area within four side surfaces of the armoring can, and one or more expansion prevention grooves are formed in the recessed part. The recessed part is formed in a region of at least 36% of the area of the side surface having the largest area of the armoring can by centering the area center point of the side surface. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
