NOVELTY - The apparatus has a case accommodating an electrode assembly (12). Positive and negative electrode terminals are fixed to the case and electrically connected with positive and negative electrodes (18, 19). Positive and negative electrode current collection tabs are electrically connected with the positive and negative terminals. The positive and negative tabs are provided at sides of the positive and negative electrodes in orthogonal direction. The positive and negative electrode current collection tabs are provided in the position that is distantly arranged from a lamination direction.    USE - Electrical storage apparatus i.e. secondary battery (claimed) e.g. lithium ion battery, for storing power supply for an electric motor of a motor engine in a vehicle such as electric vehicle and plug in hybrid vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - The apparatus performs folding of an electrode sheet body by positioning the positive electrode and the negative electrode, so that the time required for laminating the positive electrode and the negative electrode is shortened, thus improving efficiency of manufacture of the electrode assembly, and hence attaining the secondary battery in a reliable manner. The positive electrode and negative electrode comprise the electrode assemblies that are covered with a separator, so that the insulation structure of the electrode assembly and case are simplified. The electrode sheet body integrates and produces the positive electrode, the negative electrode and the separator, so that components required for stacking the electrode assembly is managed in an easy manner, thus improving operativity of the battery.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a manufacturing method for an electrode assembly.
