To provide a power storage device suitable for use in a mobile body.SOLUTION: A power storage device 1 includes a relay 60 and a power storage element 20 electrically connected to the relay 60. The relay 60 includes a pair of contacts 61a and 62a arranged to face each other, and switches over between current cut-off and connection by opening and closing the pair of contacts 61a and 62a. The power storage element 20 includes an electrode body 26 including electrode plates 27 stacked in a first direction and a container 21 that accommodates the electrode body 26. The relay 60 is arranged in a posture that a facing direction of the pair of contacts 61a and 62a is along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】移動体での使用に適した蓄電装置を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】蓄電装置１は、リレー６０と、リレー６０に電気的に接続された蓄電素子２０とを備える。リレー６０は、対向して配置された一対の接点６１ａ及び６２ａを有し、一対の接点６１ａ及び６２ａが開閉することで電流の遮断及び接続を切り替える。蓄電素子２０は、第一方向に積層された極板２７を含む電極体２６及び電極体２６を収容する容器２１を有する。リレー６０は、一対の接点６１ａ及び６２ａの対向方向が、第一方向と直交する第二方向に沿う姿勢で配置されている。【選択図】図５
