Bipolar battery, assembled battery, combination assembled battery, and vehicle using the assembled battery or the combination assembled battery

A bipolar battery, comprising:

• a battery element composed by stacking in series a plurality of bipolar electrodes, in each of which a positive electrode is formed on one surface of a collector and a negative electrode is formed on the other surface, with electrolytes interposed therebetween;
• laminate films covering the battery element, each of the laminate films containing a metal layer, the battery element being hermetically sealed in a space formed by the laminate films;
• and
• tabs being electrically connected to the battery element and being drawn from inside of the space to outside of the laminate films so that a part of each tab is exposed to the outside of the laminate films,
• wherein, in peripheral portions of the laminate films, which are sealed, a resin layer covers around each tab, and
• thickness of the resin layer interposed between each tab and the metal layer is within a range of 1 to 5 times thickness of each tab in all directions around the tabs.
