A pouch type battery that can protect a metal layer exposed to ends of a pouch using a photocurable adhesive and can fix adhesion parts to the pouch, thereby achieving a simplified, automated process, instead of a manually taping process. The pouch type battery includes an electrode assembly including a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate and a separator, a pouch accommodating the electrode assembly and having adhesion parts formed by adhering opposing edges, and a photocurable adhesive applied to the adhesion parts of the pouch and sides of the pouch.
