Abstract A sheet type storage battery and a printed wiring board containing the sheet type storage battery. The sheet type storage battery comprises a negative electrode, a solid electrolyte layer, a positive electrode layer which are laminated in this order, and a thermoplastic resin film laminated on at least one of the surfaces of said positive and negative electrode layers, which is extendible and weldable by an ultrasonic welding operation. The printed wiring board includes a base plate comprising at least one sheet type storage battery having a negative electrode layer, a positive electrode layer and a solid electrolyte layer sandwiched between the positive and negative electrode layers, preimpregnation plates laminated on both surfaces of the base plate, and holes having the inner walls coated with copper coating and formed in the printed wiring board for electrically connecting the positive and negative electrode layers to the circuit elements provided on the printed wiring board.
A method for forming a throughhole in a sheet type storage battery comprising a negative electrode layer, a solid electrolyte layer, a positive electrode layer and a thermoplastic resin film laminated on at least one of the surfaces of the positive and negative electrode layers, comprising the steps of: forming a throughhole in the sheet-type storage battery by drilling or punching; coating the inner wall of a throughhole with a thin layer of the thermoplastic resin film, the thin layer produced by extension of the laminated thermoplastic resin film during the forming of the throughhole; inserting a cylindrical hollow thermoplastic resin into the throughhole; and inserting an ultrasonic horn of an ultrasonic welder into the cylindrical hollow thermoplastic resin and welding the thermoplastic resin film coating the inner wall of the throughhole and the cylindrical hollow thermoplastic resin by a welding operation of the ultrasonic welder.
