As shown in FIG.
There is a rechargeable battery pack in which a and 2a are arranged in parallel so that they are in opposite directions, and the adjacent batteries 1 and 2 are adhered with a spacer 13 interposed therebetween. On the other hand, some devices are designed to be loaded with a plurality of single batteries in a battery holder and do not support a charging circuit.

ている。In the conventional rechargeable battery pack, the spacer 13 is located between the batteries 1 and 2, and a part 13a of the spacer 13 is inserted between the batteries 1 and 2. Since the outer peripheral edges of the two do not come into direct contact with each other, the width is widened, which has been an obstacle to miniaturization of portable devices. Further, in the conventional assembled battery, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 4B, the tangent line L12 connecting the + and − electrode surfaces of the adjacent batteries 1 and 2 is flush. Therefore, when a conductor such as a coin is placed on this surface, a short circuit easily occurs.

導通体が電極面に接触してもショートすることはない。[Function] The assembled battery can be made compact by forming the spacer into a cross-sectional shape so as not to enter the tangential portion of the adjacent battery and making the peripheral portions of the adjacent batteries directly contact each other. It is possible to reduce the size of equipment that uses the. Further, in the case of a battery pack in which a plurality of batteries are arranged so that their electrodes are arranged in opposite directions, the end portion of the spacer projects more than the tangent line connecting the positive electrode and negative electrode electrode surfaces of the adjacent batteries. Since there is such a protrusion, even if the flat conductor comes into contact with the electrode surface, there is no short circuit.
