Abstract

A sealed battery of the present invention comprises: an electrode assembly having a multilayered structure in which a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator are layered; and a first clip. The positive electrode has a positive-electrode current collection sheet and a positive-electrode active material layer; and the negative electrode has a negative-electrode current collection sheet and a negative-electrode active material layer. The electrode assembly has the following sections: a positive-electrode extended section which is a layered portion of the positive-electrode current collection sheet and extends from the multilayered structure; and a negative-electrode extended section which is a layered portion of the negative-electrode current collection sheet and extends from the multilayered structure. The first clip is provided in such a way that either one of the positive-electrode extended section and the negative-electrode extended section is sandwiched and fastened between the first plate section and the second plate section; and the first clip has a first gripping opening. The positive-electrode extended section or the negative-electrode extended section fastened by the first clip has a first fold portion formed by folding the current collection sheet by using an end of the first or second plate section at the first gripping opening as a fulcrum point.
