NOVELTY - The battery has sub bipolar battery elements (210) formed as one group, and comprising collectors (200) that include negative and positive electrode layers (220, 240) on respective surfaces of the conductor. An electrolyte layer (230) such as conductor, is formed from solid-type electrolytes, and is arranged to permit ion exchange between the positive and negative electrode layers. An accumulated thickness absorption member (260) is disposed between the collectors of the respective battery elements for absorbing thickness changes. An external member surrounds the sub battery elements.    USE - Used in a motor vehicle e.g. automobile and electric car, truck, van and bus.    ADVANTAGE - The electrolyte layer is formed from the solid-type electrolytes, thus preventing electrolyte leakage and liquid junctions or short circuits between the electrodes, which are characteristic problems for secondary batteries, and hence realizing bipolar batteries with high reliability. The sub bipolar battery elements are formed as one group, thus removing a defective sub bipolar battery element through investigations by initially charging each of the sub bipolar battery elements, thus realizing a dramatic improvement in manufacturing yield of the battery. The accumulated thickness absorption member is disposed between the collectors of the respective battery elements for absorbing thickness changes, thus preventing the reduction in the battery performance.
