(For example, a system such as a polymer such as a hexafluoropropylene-vinylidene fluoride copolymer, and an ethylene carbonate solution such as a lithium salt, a nonaqueous electrolyte, and an active material that occludes and releases lithium ions, a nonaqueous electrolyte, A negative electrode comprising an electrolyte-retaining polymer-containing negative electrode layer supported on a current collector is laminated in the above-described order to form an electrode element, and the rear surface of the positive electrode and the negative electrode is covered with a resin film to provide a protective / sealing layer (sealing). (Stop layer) to form a sheet type secondary battery. By the way, this type of sheet secondary battery is generally small,
The positive terminal (external connection terminal ... tab) and the negative terminal (external connection terminal ... tab) which are respectively derived from the electrode elements are inevitably thinned as the thickness becomes thinner, and the variety and size and shape are increased. ing.

In the treatment, for example, a contact terminal such as a contact probe is brought into direct contact with a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal having a thickness of about 0.03 to 0.1 mm. However, in charging / discharging a sheet-type secondary battery (plate-shaped secondary battery), a conventional charging / discharging device for a cylindrical secondary battery cannot be used. That is, since the cylindrical secondary battery has positive and negative electrode terminals that are separately led out on both ends, the cylindrical secondary battery supports the cylindrical secondary battery in a penetrating manner, and has a terminal block having contact terminals for charging and discharging. As a pair, both ends can be sandwiched to perform required charge / discharge processing.
