A battery case includes a mounting surface formed into a desired shape to place a sealing plate stably thereon. The battery case includes: an open box-shaped case body holding components of a battery; and a sealing plate that is integrated with the case body to close an opening of the case body. A stepped portion on which the sealing plate is placed is formed on an inner wall surface of the case body. The stepped portion includes: a mounting surface on which the sealing plate is placed; an opposed surface opposed to a periphery of the sealing plate placed on the mounting surface; and a depressed corner depressed outwardly from the opposed surface between the mounting surface and the opposed surface.
