Abstract
A power storage module according to an aspect of the present disclosure comprises a power storage cell equipped with an electrode terminal, and a conductive member comprising an electrical connection section to be connected to the electrode terminal. When viewed along a direction in which the conductive member and the electrode terminal oppose each other, the electrical connection section comprises a first portion at which a peripheral edge portion thereof is positioned further inside than a peripheral edge portion of the electrode terminal, and a second portion positioned further outside than the peripheral edge portion of the electrode terminal.
Claims7
A manufacturing method of a power storage module which manufactures a power storage module by assembling and welding a conductive member, comprising an electrical connection section to be connected to an electrode terminal, to a power storage cell provided with the electrode terminal, wherein:
- when viewed along a direction in which the conductive member and the electrode terminal oppose each other in a state in which assembly has been completed, the electrical connection section comprises a first portion at which a peripheral edge portion of the electrical connection section is positioned further inside than a peripheral edge portion of the electrode terminal, and a second portion at which the peripheral edge portion of the electrical connection section is positioned further outside than the peripheral edge portion of the electrode terminal;
- and
- the manufacturing method comprises:
- positioning the conductive member with respect to the power storage cell in a direction along a flat face of the conductive member, executed such that the electrode terminal is visible from the first portion and is not visible from the second portion, and
- positioning the conductive member with respect to the power storage cell in a direction perpendicular to the flat face of the conductive member, executed by irradiating measurement light through an inspection hole piercing through the conductive member.
A power storage module comprising:
- a power storage cell comprising an electrode terminal;
- and
- a conductive member comprising an electrical connection section to be connected to the electrode terminal;
- wherein,
- when viewed along a direction in which the conductive member and the electrode terminal oppose each other, the electrical connection section comprises:
- a first portion at which a peripheral edge portion of the electrical connection section is positioned further inside than a peripheral edge portion of the electrode terminal, and
- a second portion at which the peripheral edge portion of the electrical connection section is positioned further outside than the peripheral edge portion of the electrode terminal.
