Original Abstract Submitted

A lamination type battery herein disclosed includes a plurality of electrode bodies and a connection terminal. The electrode bodies are formed in a plate shape, and are stacked one on another, with a thickness direction thereof being a lamination direction. The connection terminal electrically connects the first electrode body and second electrode body which are mutually and adjacently stacked. Each of the electrode bodies includes a pair of collector tabs extending outward along the plate surface. One collector tab of the first electrode body and one collector tab of the second electrode body are joined to the connection terminal from mutually opposite directions in the lamination direction.
