Original Abstract Submitted

A power storage device includes a case having a metal lid with an insertion hole, a terminal member inserted through the insertion hole, and a resin member insulating between the case and the terminal member. The terminal member is made of a flat plate-shaped metal member bent to form an inner terminal part and an outer terminal part including a connection flat surface. The outer terminal part includes an outer main portion extending from an area joined to the inner terminal part to one side in a thickness direction of the inner terminal part, forming over half of the connection flat surface, and an outer protruding portion protruding on the other side in the thickness direction, forming the rest of the connection flat surface. The terminal member has a T-shaped cross-section at a portion including the joined area of the inner and outer terminal parts.
