A first subassembly and a second subassembly each include four thin batteries connected in parallel with positive terminals of the individual thin batteries connected through a positive-side bus bar having a projecting portion and negative terminals of the individual thin batteries connected through a flat negative-side bus bar. The first subassembly is stacked on top of the second subassembly. The projecting portion of the positive-side bus bar at the second subassembly comes into contact with the negative-side bus bar of the first subassembly to achieve a serial connection between the first subassembly and the second subassembly.
A thin battery connection structure for electrically connecting a positive terminal and a negative terminal of one thin battery having the positive terminal and the negative terminal led out at peripheral portions of a battery armor each to either a positive terminal and a negative terminal of at least one other thin battery by using bus bars, wherein:
