Abstract: Disclosed is a battery including a casing including cells housed therein and a terminal part including a connection terminal connected to an electrode terminal of a connection apparatus, in which in the casing, a functional groove having a predetermined function in which a longitudinal direction coincides with a connection direction of the connection terminal and the electrode terminal is formed, and the functional groove includes a plurality of functional units having different lengths which are continuously formed. Accordingly, since there is no part that divides a functional unit between a plurality of functional units having different lengths, a size of the functional groove in a direction in which the functional units are continuous is a sum of sizes of a plurality of functional units, and thus it is possible to reduce the size of the battery while securing high functionality.

Abstract: A power feed unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes two or more first terminal sections, a second terminal section, and a switch. The first terminal sections each include a first power supply terminal directed to receiving electric power from the battery, and a first communication terminal directed to performing communication with the battery. The second terminal section includes a second power supply terminal directed to supplying electric power to the electronic apparatus, and a second communication terminal directed to performing communication with the electronic apparatus. The switch electrically couples one first communication terminal of the two or more first communication terminals and the second communication terminal to each other.
