A laminate packaging flat cell comprises a laminate film formed by
combining polymer and metal with each other; a power generating element
formed of a plurality of electrode plates and separators, and
hermetically sealed by the laminate film; and an electrode terminal lead
coupled to the electrode plate. In the laminate packaging flat cell of
the present invention, the power generating element is hermetically
sealed by forming a thermally welded portion on an outer periphery of the
laminate film, and the electrode terminal lead protrudes from the
thermally welded portion, and a through-hole is provided in a position
thereof contacting the thermally welded portion.
