A power-generating element containing a stacked electrode assembly (10)
and an electrolyte solution is disposed in an accommodating space of a
plastic battery case (13). The entirety of the battery case (13) is
enclosed air-tightly and liquid-tightly in an outer cover made of an
aluminum laminate. An opening (13A) of the battery case (13) is sealed by
sealing members (16a, 16b) disposed and melt-bonded so as to cover an
opening (13A) of the battery case 13 and to sandwich current collectors
(14, 15) of the power-generating element from both sides. The outer cover
is sealed at at least a location corresponding to the opening (13A) of
the battery case (13).
