BATTERY

A battery includes a metal battery can that has a tubular portion having an opening edge portion at one end of the tubular portion and a bottom portion closing the other end of the tubular portion; an electrode body that is accommodated in the battery can; an electrolytic solution that fills the battery can; and a sealing member that has an outer peripheral surface disposed to face an inner peripheral surface of the opening edge portion of the tubular portion and seals the opening edge portion, in which a part of the inner peripheral surface of the opening edge portion and a part of the outer peripheral surface of the sealing member are joined by a melting portion, and a preventing portion, which prevents the electrolytic solution from rising toward a position, in which the melting portion is formed, between the inner peripheral surface of the opening edge portion and the outer peripheral surface of the sealing member, is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the sealing member, the preventing portion being closer to the bottom portion than the melting portion is.
