The present disclosure is directed to a packaging construction for columnar batteries. The packaging construction includes an accommodation case including a bottom plate, and side plates located on outer edges of the bottom plate; a first tray having first recesses into which one end portions of the batteries are fitted, placed immediately above the bottom plate, and fixed to the accommodation case; and a second tray having second recesses into which the other end portions of the batteries are fitted, and placed above the first tray. The batteries are held so as to be fitted to the first and second trays and such that each adjacent pair of the batteries are apart from each other. A portion of a bottom of each first recess facing a corner portion of the one end portion of a corresponding one of the fitted batteries protrudes outward to be apart from the corner portion.
