An electric double layer capacitor having an electrode rolled body contained in an outer packaging can. The electrode rolled body includes a positive electrode plate having a positive electrode foil, on both sides of which an active substance is applied, a negative electrode plate having a negative electrode foil, on both sides of which the active substance is applied, and a separator interposed between these electrode plates, and is obtained by winding the above parts. The negative electrode foil is electrically connected directly to a bottom of the outer packaging can so that heat generated in an interior of the electric double layer capacitor is efficiently transferred to the outer packaging can from the negative electode foil. The negative electrode foil has a greater thickness than that of the positive electrode foil, which is not electrically connected to the outer packaging can, so that heat quantity transferred is made large.

1. An electric double-layer capacitor having an electrode rolled body obtained by overlapping and winding a pair of electrode plates, which serve as positive and negative electrodes, and positive and negative collecting plates, which are mounted to upper and lower ends of the electrode rolled body through which charging is effected on the electrode plates and discharging is effected from the electrode plates,characterized in that at least the positive collecting plate of the collecting plates includes a plurality of convex ridges extending radially from central portions thereof and projecting toward the electrode rolled body, the plurality of convex ridges are pressed against the electrode rolled body to form bent portions on upper and lower ends of the electrode plates, the convex ridges are joined to the bent portions by welding, and openings or notches are each positioned between adjacent two of the bent portions formed by adjacent two of the convex ridges, respectively, to permit an electrolyte to be filled into the electrode rolled body through the openings or notches.
