Abstract: An electricity storage device includes a case, an electricity storage element, a lead, and a sealing member. The sealing member includes an insulative gasket including a base, and an electrically conductive sealing plate. The sealing plate includes a displaceable part provided with a protrusion protruding toward the electricity storage element. The base is disposed between the sealing plate and the electricity storage element. The base includes a through hole. The protrusion is inserted into the through hole. The lead includes a folded part formed by welding at least double and being joined by at least one weld-deposited part. The protrusion and the folded part of the lead are connected to each other. The protrusion is displaced in a direction away from the lead in response to an increase of an internal pressure of the case so as to be disconnected from the lead.
