Abstract

A cylindrical battery includes a bottom-closed cylindrical exterior package can which receives an electrode body. A lead connected to one of a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the electrode body is extended from the electrode body and is welded to a bottom portion of the exterior package can. When the bottom portion is viewed from the outside of the exterior package can, at least a part of the welding portion between the lead and the bottom portion formed by a molten mark is formed outside of a concentric circle of the bottom portion which has a diameter equivalent to the width of the lead.
