Abstract: An energy storage device includes a first locking portion for locking a rotation of a positive electrode current collecting member about a shaft portion of a positive electrode terminal with respect to a lower insulating member. The first locking portion includes: a recessed portion formed on the lower insulating member; and a projecting portion formed on the positive electrode current collecting member. The recessed portion is indented away from the shaft portion in a direction which intersects with the shaft portion. The projecting portion projects away from the shaft portion in the direction which intersects with the shaft portion. The recessed portion and the projecting portion are configured to engage with each other. A leg portion is positioned closer to an end portion of a lid body in a longitudinal direction of the lid body than the first locking portion is.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an energy storage device includes a swaging step in which a swaged portion is formed by swaging a tip portion, penetrating a positive electrode terminal or a positive electrode current collector and projecting in a predetermined direction from the positive electrode terminal or the positive electrode current collector, of a shaft portion. In the swaging step, the tip portion of the shaft portion is swaged by a punch which includes a pressing surface, the pressing surface including a punch-side first concave portion which is concaved in the predetermined direction and a punch-side second concave portion which is concaved in the predetermined direction more than the punch-side first concave portion at an inner peripheral side of the punch-side first concave portion.

Abstract: A sealing member (positive electrode first sealing member) disposed between a terminal (positive electrode terminal), which is provided on a case of an energy storage device, and the case or between a current collector (positive electrode current collector), which is electrically connected with the terminal, and the case. The sealing member includes a first surface (bottom surface) which faces the case and a second surface (bottom surface) which is opposite to the first surface and faces the terminal or the current collector. A first protrusion is formed on the first surface, the first protrusion surrounding a shaft portion of the terminal. A second protrusion is formed on the second surface, the second protrusion surrounding the shaft portion of the terminal. A protrusion amount of the first protrusion is different from a protrusion amount of the second protrusion.
