Zusammenfassung:A battery pack has a plurality of unit cells, a bus bar and a plate portion. The unit cells each includes a cell body having a power-generating element and being formed in a flat shape. Each unit cell has an electrode tab that extends out from a corresponding one of the cell bodies. The unit cells are stacked in a thickness direction of the cell bodies. The bus bar is electrically connected to the electrode tabs by laser welding. The plate portion forms a stacked structure together with the electrode tabs along an irradiation direction of the laser. Each electrode tab includes an anode-side electrode tab and a cathode-side electrode tab. The cathode-side electrode tabs have a different thickness than the anode-side electrode tabs. The plate portion is only provided on the ones of the anode-side electrode tabs and the cathode-side electrode tabs that have a smaller thickness.
