According to an embodiment, a battery includes an exterior container, a lid member, a plurality of electrode groups, a first lead, a second lead, and an electrode terminal. The lid member closes an opening of an inner cavity of the exterior container, and the plurality of electrode groups are stored in the inner cavity. A first current collecting tab protruding toward the lid member in a first electrode is joined with the first lead, and a second current collecting tab protruding toward the lid member in the second electrode different from the first electrode is joined with the second lead separate from the first lead. The first and second leads are together connected to the electrode terminal exposed on an outer surface of the lid member.

[Object] To prevent elements in a pack main body and an electronic apparatus from malfunctioning even if the pack main body having an outer shape line-symmetric in up and down directions and left- and right-hand directions is incorrectly attached.

[Solving Means] There are provided a pack main body 11 installing the battery cell 29 and a terminal portion 12 constituted of a plus terminal 12a, a minus terminal 12b, and a control terminal 12c that are provided on a front surface 11c of the pack main body 11. The plus terminal 12a, the minus terminal 12b, and the control terminal 12c are provided so as to be deviated to one end portion 11f in a width direction of the front surface 11c and arranged in an order of the plus terminal 12a, the control terminal 12c, and the minus terminal 12b. The sizes of the control terminal 12c, the plus terminal 12a, and the minus terminal 12b are increased in an order of the control terminal 12c, the plus terminal 12a, and the minus terminal 12b such that the control terminal 12c is formed to be the smallest. While being attachable to various electronic apparatuses, the pack main body can ensure a sufficient mechanical strength.

A battery includes an electrode body obtained by stacking a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate with a separator interposed therebetween, an exterior body having an opening and housing the electrode body, a sealing plate sealing the opening, and an external terminal attached to the sealing plate.
