A secondary battery has an electrode body, a sealing plate sealing an opening of a battery case, current collector tabs provided respectively on a positive and a negative electrode plate, current collector terminals disposed inside the sealing plate and connected respectively to the positive and the negative electrode plate with the respective current collector tabs interposed therebetween, and external terminals disposed outside the sealing plate and connected to the respective current collector terminals. The electrode body is accommodated in the battery case with the electrode current collector tabs being bent in a space inside the sealing plate, and each of the current collector tabs has a joined portion ultrasonically joined to the corresponding current collector terminal and a bend portion provided at a position away from the joined portion and on the electrode body side and serving as a starting portion at which the current collector tab is bent.
