A battery has elements for electromotive-force accommodated in a metal outer can which has a bottom having a cylindrical, prismatic or similar shape. The ratio of the bottom thickness (TA) the side thickness (TB) is 1.5-7.0. The metal outer can contains primarily iron and a layer of nickel is provided on at least the inner face of the battery. Shallow grooves are formed on the nickel layer perpendicular to the bottom face. An iron-based metallic sheet formed with a nickel layer on at least one face is subjected to drawing forming into a tubular shape having a bottom, continuous ironing processing being performed such that the side of the can formed in the tubular shape has an ironing ratio in the range of 20% to 90% and a metal outer can is thereby manufactured having a ratio of a bottom thickness to its side thickness from 1.5 to 7.0, having a cylindrical shape, prismatic shape or shape similar thereto, and with shallow longitudinal grooves formed in a nickel layer provided on the battery inside face.
