CONSTITUTION:A power generation element 5 composed by laminating a positive electrode 2 mainly composed of graphite fluoride and a negative electrode 3 having metal lithium as an active material through a separator 4 impregnated with electrolyte is built inside a case 1 made of an BUS material. A gasket 7 consisting of thermoplastic resin having excellent heat resistance and amorphous crystal structure is fitted into an opening part 1a of the case 1 in the peripheral part of a metallic sealing plate. This resin consists of transformed polyphenylene oxide, polyether sulfone, polysulfone, polyether imide and transformed polyphenylene ether. Next, a periphery of the opening part 1a is inwardly bent by a metal mold so as to seal the opening part 1a. Then, no change occurs against thermal stress so as to maintain airtightness of the sealing part 6 thus to obtain a stable and a good high temperature retention characteristic.
