Stacked secondary battery

A stacked secondary battery includes battery element including a multilayer structure formed by laying alternately flat plate-shaped positive electrodes and flat plate-shaped negative electrodes by way of separators, the number of the positive electrodes being larger by one than that of the negative electrodes or vice versa, and connecting positive electrode draw-out terminals of the positive electrodes to each other and also negative electrode draw-out terminals of the negative electrodes to each other, plate-shaped metal members respectively arranged on and held in contact with the opposite end surfaces of the multilayer structure as viewed in the stacking direction, binding members binding the plate-shaped metal members so as to pinch and hold the multilayer structure from the end surfaces thereof and a film casing containing the battery element pinched by and held between the plate-shaped metal members in a sealed condition.
