Abstract:
A battery includes: a battery case having a case body member and a case lid member having a through hole; a rivet that engages with the through hole; and a gasket. The through hole is hermetically sealed with the gasket interposed between the circumferential outer surface of the case lid member and an outer flange of the rivet. The case lid member is configured such that, in a state wherein a peripheral edge portion connected to an opening end portion of the case body member, the circumferential outer surface is positioned in the axial outward direction such that the circumferential outer surface faces further towards the outer side along the axis line of the through hole than the peripheral edge portion and the opening end portion.
