Lead-acid battery

A lead-acid battery comprising:

• a container in which a plurality of elements and an electrolyte solution are accommodated, the container having an opening portion;
• and
• a lid for sealing the opening portion,
• wherein the lid includes a base portion including a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal, and a projecting portion projecting from the base portion,
• wherein the projecting portion includes a handle rotatably provided, and a first projecting portion which is an entirety of the projecting portion located between the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal,
• wherein the projecting portion includes a pair of shaft portions each serving as a rotation shaft of the handle, and a pair of opposing walls each intersecting an imaginary line passing through an axial center of the respective shaft portion,
• wherein the handle includes a pair of attaching portions each fitted to the respective shaft portion, and a grip portion,
• wherein, when the lid is viewed in a plan view from a projecting direction of the projecting portion, the grip portion is located on an outer periphery of the first projecting portion,
• the first projecting portion is not located between the grip portion and the positive electrode terminal or the negative electrode terminal,
• wherein each of the pair of attaching portions includes a fitting portion including:
• a base portion;
• a sliding wall projecting in an inner direction from the base portion and having a cutout portion which is an opened part of a circumference of the sliding wall;
• and
• a fitting groove that is a bottomed groove to which the respective shaft portion is fitted and is recessed in an outer direction from the base portion,
• wherein a distance between outer end surfaces of the pair of shaft portions is larger than a distance between the base portions of the pair of attaching portions, and smaller than a distance between bottom portions of the fitting grooves of the pair of attaching portions, and
• wherein, when a direction in which the projecting portion projects from the base portion is defined as a first direction and a direction opposite to the first direction is defined as a second direction, the cutout portion is provided so as to be located in the second direction in a state where the handle is accommodated in the lid.
