BACKGROUND ART In general, a battery in which a separator is interposed between an anode and a cathode and one or more separators are stacked and stored in a battery can is called a flat battery, and a smaller battery is called a coin battery. ing. For example, in a battery that uses lithium for the negative electrode and manganese dioxide for the positive electrode, the manganese dioxide electrode is placed in a metal battery can, while the lithium electrode is placed in contact with the battery lid, and the electrolytes propylene carbonate and lithium perchlorate are connected to each other. After interposing a separator containing a mixed solution between the two electrodes, the battery can and lid were caulked with a sealing gasket made of polypropylene to produce a battery. Even when thionyl chloride and lithium aluminum tetrachloride are used as the positive electrode active materials, the same method can be used. In this case, trifluoroethylene or tetrafluoroethylene is effective as the sealing gasket material.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the problem in manufacturing this type of battery is that when the metal battery can and battery cover are swaged together with a sealing gasket, the thickness and finish of the battery must be It is not constant. In other words, when the separator is crimped after soaking an appropriate amount of electrolyte, the electrolyte leaks from between the sealing gasket and the battery can or battery lid because the thickness of the battery is not constant, causing the amount of electrolyte contained in the separator to decrease. Variations occur. This causes variations in the performance of the manufactured batteries, which in turn reduces reliability. In addition, a battery that has suffered electrolyte leakage is more likely to continue to leak than a battery that is in good condition. In particular, since the amount of electrolyte contained in the separator of small batteries called coin-type or button-type batteries is very small, even a small amount of leakage has a large effect on battery performance.

The defect rate was 2.896, and often increased by 1.396 during long-term storage.
