Secondary battery

A secondary battery comprising:

• a conductive member having a hollow space inside the conductive member, and an opening on an outer side of the secondary battery;
• a current interrupt device that has a reverse plate connected to the conductive member, the current interrupt device being provided inside the secondary battery;
• wherein the hollow space communicates with a space surrounded by the reverse plate and the conductive member to form an enclosed space that is filled with gas, wherein a pressure inside the enclosed space is higher after the current interrupt device operates than before the current interrupt device operates;
• a pressure-sensitive member fixed to the conductive member and configured to seal the opening of the conductive member, a state of the pressure-sensitive member changing in accordance with an increase in pressure of the enclosed space surrounded by the reverse plate and the conductive member, wherein the pressure-sensitive member is entirely disposed on the outer side of the secondary battery and visible from the outer side of the secondary battery while being fixed to the conductive member before the current interrupt device operates and after the current interrupt device operates;
• a battery case defining an outer perimeter of the secondary battery;
• and
• a sealing plate provided at an end surface of the battery case with a positive electrode and a negative electrode arranged within the sealing plate, wherein the sealing plate has a through hole formed therein, and the conductive member is provided in the through hole so that a portion of the conductive member that extends outside each end of the through hole has a diameter greater than an inner diameter of the through hole, wherein the opening of the conductive member extends from an inner area of the secondary battery to an area outside the secondary battery, wherein the change of state of the pressure-sensitive member is a change of a color of the pressure-sensitive member that changes in response to the increase in pressure in the enclosed space after the current interrupt device operates.
