Abstract
A current collecting structure for which the installation space for current collecting plates is not increased more than necessary even if the number of electrodes to be stacked is increased to increase the capacity of a secondary battery is provided. Positive current collecting plates 41a to 41j constituting a positive current collecting plate stacking portion 27 are bent at bent portions 47a to 47j to constitute fixed portions 43a to 43j and welded portions 45a to 45j, respectively. The angles of the bent portions 47a to 47e are 80°, 90°, 100°, 110°, and 120°, respectively. The angles of the bent portions 47f to 47j are 120°, 110°, 100°, 90°, and 80°, respectively. Negative current collecting plates are also bent in the same manner.
