Disclosed is a battery which has means which, upon the occurrence of an abnormal phenomenon, such as an overcharge or an external short circuit, rapidly operates a safety mechanism, such as a current breaking valve, to ensure the safety of the battery and which, particularly upon the occurrence of an abnormal phenomenon, can surely and stably increase the pressure within the battery. The battery comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, an electrolysis solution, and a hermetically sealed container, the hermetically sealed container containing in its interior a compound represented by formula (1):wherein X represents a group which, upon decomposition of the compound caused by a rise in temperature, is eliminated to evolve a gas insoluble or slightly soluble in the electrolysis solution; and R represents a group which controls the decomposition temperature of the compound.
