Original Abstract Submitted

A battery includes an electrode body, a charge collection terminal that contacts a side face on a first direction one side of the electrode body, a laminated sheet covering the electrode body and a portion of the charge collection terminal at another side in the first direction, and a tab film. The tab film is interposed between the charge collection terminal and the laminated sheet, is formed with a projection portion that protrudes out from a corner portion provided to the charge collection terminal at an end portion in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and to a thickness direction of the charge collection terminal, and is welded to the charge collection terminal and the laminated sheet at a periphery of the charge collection terminal.
