    Abstract: A nickel-metal hydride secondary battery is provided with: an outer package can having an opening at an upper end; an electrode group accommodated in the outer package can together with an alkaline electrolyte; and a sealing body that seals the opening of the outer package can. The sealing body includes a cover plate having a central through hole, and a valve element made of an elastic material to close the central through hole. The valve element includes a cylindrical main body part having a base end surface that covers the central through hole, and an extended diameter part positioned on an opposite side of the main body part from the base end surface and having a diameter made larger than a diameter of the main body part. A ratio R of a thickness T of the extended diameter part to a total height H of the valve element is equal to or higher than 27%.

    Abstract: A secondary battery includes an outer can, a sealing body sealing an opening of the outer can, an electrode group housed together with an electrolyte inside the outer can, and a positive electrode current collector arranged between the electrode group and the sealing body. The positive electrode current collector has a current collector center through hole provided at a position facing an electrode group through hole of the electrode group. The sealing body includes a lid plate having an exhaust hole at the center, a valve body arranged at a position closing the exhaust hole from the outside of the lid plate, and a positive electrode terminal electrically connected to the lid plate and housing inside with the valve body pressed toward the lid plate. An inner diameter dimension DC of the current collector center through hole of the positive electrode current collector is equal to or less than an inner diameter dimension DL of the exhaust hole.
