BATTERY PACK AND BATTERY-PACK EXTERIOR CASING
First Claim
1. A battery pack comprising:
- a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery that includes a substantially thin-plate-shaped battery element covered with a laminated sheet such that a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal are exposed, and has a first end face from which the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal are led out;
an exterior casing that covers five faces of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the five faces excluding a second end face next to the first end face; and
a support that covers the second end face of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, whereinat least one of the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal is extended along a first connection portion provided for the first end face and a second connection portion provided for the second end face and is connected to an external power supply provided for the support.

Abstract
A battery pack is provided. The battery pack includes a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery that includes a substantially thin-plate-shaped battery element covered with a laminated sheet such that a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal are exposed, and has a first end face from which the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal are led out. An exterior casing covers five faces of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the five faces excluding a second end face next to the first end face. A support covers the second end face of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. At least one of the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal is extended along a first connection portion provided for the first end face and a second connection portion provided for the second end face and is connected to an external power supply provided for the support.
