Original Abstract Submitted
A battery includes: a power generation element including battery cells each of which includes an electrode layer, a counter-electrode layer, and a solid electrolyte layer located between the electrode layer and the counter-electrode layer, and which are stacked; an electrode insulating layer covering an electrode layer among the electrode layers at a side surface of the power generation element; and a counter-electrode terminal covering the side surface and the electrode insulating layer, and electrically connected to a counter-electrode layer among the counter-electrode layers. At least some of the battery cells are connected in parallel. At the side surface, the electrode insulating layer covers from an electrode layer among the electrode layers to a part of a corresponding one of the counter-electrode layers along a stacking direction of the power generation element.
