Wave-shaped crest ridge or trough furrow 105 is in a state of being alternately parallel to side surfaces 106 of protrusion 103 in the right-left direction and to side surfaces 107 thereof in the front-rear direction, and of being continuous in a step shape. In this manner, since wave-shaped crest ridge or through, furrow 105 exists in a state of being parallel to right and left side surfaces 106 and front and rear side surfaces 107 of protrusion 103 and the top surface of protrusion 103 of the laminate film on the upper side extends in front-rear and right-left directions, wrinkling or cracking does not appear, even when the battery is curved in the right-left direction and the front-rear direction.
In the present manufacturing process, protrusion 103 which accommodates the electrode group is formed before the four sides are sealed, and thereby it is possible to prevent wrinkling from appearing on the four corners when the sealing is performed, as in the related, art. In the present, embodiment, after protrusion 103 is formed, wave shape 105 is formed. However, protrusion 103 and the wave shape may be simultaneously formed. The present manufacturing process is applied to all of the following embodiments.
