BATTERY

A battery includes: a plurality of solid-state battery cells; and a connection layer located between the solid-state battery cells. Each of the solid-state battery cells has a structure in which a positive electrode current collector, a positive electrode active material layer, a solid electrolyte layer including an inorganic solid electrolyte, a negative electrode active material layer, and a negative electrode current collector are laminated in this order. The solid-state battery cells are electrically connected in series. The positive electrode current collector of one of a pair of the solid-state battery cells and the negative electrode current collector of the other of the pair of the solid-state battery cells are laminated via the connection layer, the pair of the solid-state battery cells are adjacent solid-state battery cells among the solid-state battery cells. The connection layer includes a conductive material, and the Young's modulus of the connection layer is lower than the Young's moduli of the positive electrode current collector, the positive electrode active material layer, the solid electrolyte layer, the negative electrode active material layer, and the negative electrode current collector.
