METHOD FOR INSPECTING A POWER STORAGE DEVICE, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A POWER STORAGE DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A DEVICE STACK

A method for inspecting a battery in which an electrode body is accommodated in a case so that the electrode body is insulated from the case by an insulation film includes: adjusting the battery to a first voltage; measuring a first potential difference which is a potential difference between the case and a negative terminal that is exposed outside the case and electrically connected to a negative electrode plate to have a negative-electrode potential; measuring a second potential difference which is a potential difference between the case and the negative electrode plate after a lapse of a standby period of 24 hours or more; and determining whether or not a short circuit exists between the case and the negative electrode plate based on magnitude of the first and second potential differences and a change between the first potential difference and the second potential difference.
