A short circuit detection device has a voltage sensor and a control unit. The voltage sensor detects a voltage of a secondary battery. The control unit determines whether a first voltage value of the voltage of the secondary battery discharging to a load is below a threshold value. Upon determining the first voltage value is below the threshold value, the control unit adjusts the load to reduce the current that flows from the secondary battery to the load. The control unit then determines whether a second voltage value of the voltage of the secondary battery after the adjustment of the load is less than the first voltage value. Upon determining the second voltage value is less than the first voltage value, control unit recognizes that an internal short circuit of the secondary battery has occurred.

Irregularities are formed on the surface of an article. At the top of each protrusion of the irregularities, fine irregularities finer than the irregularities are formed. The irregularities are formed so that, in a unit area of the surface of the article touched by a human finger, a ratio of a contact area between the finger and the article is in the range of 35% to 90%. It is preferable to form the irregularities so that the ratio of a contact area between the finger and the article is in the range of 45% to 80%.
