用時にこのシール紙を剥離する事で初めて開放される。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Oxygen in the air, which is a positive electrode active material of an air battery, is introduced into the battery through air holes. This air hole is sealed with a sticker paper when the battery is not in use, or is only opened by peeling off the sticker paper when the battery is in use.
しかし、空気孔を開放すると同時に、外界の影響（空気
中のＣ０２の吸収、電解液中のＨ２Ｏの蒸発）により電
池性能の劣化か進行してしまう。However, as soon as the air holes are opened, the battery performance deteriorates due to the influence of the outside world (absorption of CO2 in the air, evaporation of H2O in the electrolyte).
従来、この空気孔を電池封口後に開孔すると、拡散紙等
の構成要素を破損する率か高かった。Conventionally, if these air holes were opened after the battery was sealed, there was a high risk of damaging components such as the diffusion paper.
よって、電池封口前に、すでに空気孔を開孔しである正
極ケースを用いて封口していた。Therefore, before sealing the battery, a positive electrode case with air holes already formed therein was used to seal the battery.

後、一定期間のエージングのために、空気孔を密閉する
といったような労力を要した。Therefore, before sealing the battery, a positive electrode case with air holes has been used to seal the battery. In this way, when sealing the positive electrode case with air holes already formed, labor is required to seal the air holes for a certain period of aging after sealing the battery.
