Abstract:
A power source pack includes: a housing; and a power source module which is housed in the housing. The power source module includes: a cell stack including a plurality of energy storage devices each having a safety valve; and a heat insulator positioned between an inner wall of the housing and the cell stack and having an approximately flat-plate shape. The heat insulator faces the safety valves of the cell stack in an opposed manner.
Abstract:
An active material for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a lithium transition metal composite oxide which has an α-NaFeO2-type crystal structure, is represented by the compositional formula Li1+αMe1−αO2 (Me is a transition metal element containing Mn, Ni and Co; and 0
Abstract:
An energy storage device includes: an electrode assembly; a case for storing the electrode assembly therein, the case having an electrolyte solution sealing portion where an electrolyte solution pouring hole formed in the case is sealed; and at least one partition member arranged in a gap formed between the case and the electrode assembly stored in the case. The partition member partitions the gap in the winding axis direction of the electrode assembly by surrounding the electrode assembly in the winding direction of the electrode. The electrolyte solution pouring hole is arranged at a position closer to one end of the electrode assembly than the partition member close to one end of the case is in the winding axis direction.
