Original Abstract Submitted

A power storage cell includes a case, an electrode assembly, and an electrolyte solution. The case houses the electrode assembly and the electrolyte solution. The case has a first bottom wall, a peripheral wall, and a second bottom wall. The second bottom wall faces the first bottom wall. The peripheral wall connects the first bottom wall and the second bottom wall. The peripheral wall includes a pair of main walls and a pair of side walls. The pair of side walls connect the pair of main walls. Each of the pair of main walls has a larger area than an area of each of the pair of side walls. A groove is formed in a surface of at least one of the pair of side walls in the case. The groove extends in a direction from the first bottom wall toward the second bottom wall.
