Abstract

A flat secondary battery has a laminate-type power generation element in which two or more plate-like electrodes are laminated via each of separators; and a pair of rectangular exterior members when viewed from a lamination direction of the two or more electrodes, the rectangular exterior members sealing the laminate-type power generation element and an electrolyte solution. At least one exterior member of the pair of the rectangular exterior members comprises: an abutting part including an abutting surface that abuts against an uppermost layer electrode of the two or more electrodes; a sealing part at which the rectangular exterior members overlap each other at an outer circumferential position of the rectangular exterior members; and an extending part that extends from the abutting part to the sealing part, and the flat secondary battery satisfies:
