Original Abstract Submitted

A battery including: a layered member that includes an electrode layered body including a plurality of electrodes layered in a thickness direction, and a sealing member; a side surface member; and an outer package that covers the layered member and the side surface member. The outer package is arranged to cover a surface configuring an outer periphery of the side surface member, and a surface configuring an outer periphery of the layered member. The side surface member includes a metal foil, and a resin layer that includes a first protruding part and a second protruding part. The sealing member is arranged between the first protruding part and the second protruding part; and each of the first protruding part and the second protruding part are welded to the outer package.
