Abstract
The secondary battery includes an electrode body that includes a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate, an outer body that has an opening and houses the electrode body, a sealing plate that seals the opening of the outer body, a positive electrode tab that is provided in the positive electrode plate, a positive electrode external terminal that is electrically connected to the positive electrode plate and attached to the sealing plate, and a positive electrode current collector and a second positive electrode current collector that electrically connect the positive electrode tab and the positive electrode external terminal. The first positive electrode current collector has a current collector protrusion. The second positive electrode current collector has a current collector opening. The current collector protrusion is positioned in the current collector opening. The current collector protrusion and the edge of the current collector opening are weld connected to each other.
