Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides a battery which has high volumetric efficiency, and in which spring-back of a bent portion of a laminated film is inhibited. The battery of the present disclosure includes an electrode laminate and a laminated film sealing it. The laminated film in the battery of the present disclosure has an extending part which extends on a periphery of the electrode laminate, and is bent toward the electrode laminate. A total thickness of the first region of the electrode laminate and the laminated film sealing the first region is less than a total thickness of the second region of the electrode laminate and the laminated film sealing the second region. Further, in a portion of the laminated film sealing the first region, a belt-like member is arranged such that it is wound around the laminated film to immobilize the extending part.
