ELECTRODE PLATE GROUP UNIT FOR SECONDARY BATTERY AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

A secondary-battery electrode group unit with its electrodes and current collecting members reliably fixed to each other and enabling a large current flow is provided, and a method of manufacturing the secondary-battery electrode group unit is also provided. A conductive member (35, 36) is mechanically and electrically connected to a current collecting portion (16, 18) of a current collecting member (11, 13) and a terminal forming portion (15, 17) to form, besides a current path passing through the current collecting portion (16, 18) and the terminal forming portion (15, 17), another current path allowing a current to flow from a part of the current collecting portion (16, 18) to the terminal forming portion (15, 17).
