A secondary battery includes a bare cell having a terminal side from which
an electrode terminal protrudes, an opposing side opposite the terminal
side, and a longitudinal side. A circuit module is on the longitudinal
side and a resin molding covers the circuit module. A lead electrode
electrically connects the electrode terminal and the circuit module. A
side covering is attached to at least one of the terminal side and the
opposing side, the side covering including a base and a skirt defining a
resin cavity adapted to receive hot melt resin.
