A lithium battery comprises a pouch (4) and a lithium battery module (2) packaged in the pouch (4). The pouch (4) is formed from a battery packaging laminated structure (10). The laminated structure (10) has an outermost layer (11), a barrier layer (12) and an innermost layer (14), or an outermost layer (11), a barrier layer (12), an intermediate layer (13) and an innermost layer (14) superposed in that order. The outermost layer (11) is formed of a formable base material, the barrier layer (12) is formed of a impermeable base material having a barrier property, the intermediate layer (13) is formed of a formable base material and the innermost layer (14) is formed of a heat-adhesive base material.
