Abstract
A storage device disclosed herein includes an electrode body including a first electrode, an electrolyte, and a case. The electrode body includes a first electrode tab group. The case includes a case body including a bottom wall and a sealing plate. When the storage device is in a fully charged state, a liquid level of an excess electrolyte that is the electrolyte present between the case body and the electrode body is located closer to the sealing plate than a portion of the first electrode tab group that is closest to the bottom wall.
Claims6
A storage device comprising:
- an electrode body including a first electrode and a second electrode;
- an electrolyte including an organic solvent and a lithium salt;
- and
- a case accommodating the electrode body and the electrolyte,
- wherein
- the electrode body includes
- a first electrode tab group including a plurality of first electrode tabs that protrude from a first end portion, and
- a second electrode tab group including a plurality of second electrode tabs that protrude from a second end portion,
- the case includes
- a case body including
- a bottom wall,
- a pair of first side walls extending from the bottom wall and opposed to each other,
- a pair of second side walls extending from the bottom wall and opposed to each other, and
- an opening opposed to the bottom wall, and
- a sealing plate that seals the opening,
- the first electrode tab group is arranged at a side of one of the pair of second side walls inside the case,
- the second electrode tab group is arranged at a side of the other one of the pair of second side walls inside the case, and
- when the storage device is in a fully charged state,
- the storage device includes an excess electrolyte that is the electrolyte present between the case body and the electrode body in a state where a perpendicular direction to the bottom wall is a vertical direction, and
- a liquid level of the excess electrolyte is located closer to the sealing plate than a portion of the first electrode tab group that is closest to the bottom wall.
