1. A method of inspecting a storage state of a secondary battery in a battery pack, the battery pack including a plurality of secondary batteries and a housing, the housing having a plurality of storage sections and containing the secondary batteries in the respective storage sections,a conductive member being attached to an outer surface of each of the secondary batteries made of a non-conductive material, wherein the conductive member is an aluminum strip and is electrically disconnected with each of the secondary batteries,each of the storage sections being provided with at least two same detection sections connected with the housing on a same side, anddepending on a storage state of each of the secondary batteries in each of the storage sections, two of the at least two same detection sections being in contact with the conductive member indicates a first initial value, or at least one of the at least two same detection sections being not in contact with the conductive member indicates a second initial value, and the first initial value and the second initial value are stored in a memory of the battery pack,the method comprising:examining a conduction/non-conduction state between the detection sections in each of the secondary batteries;comparing an examined result to a previously found conduction/non-conduction initial value; andchanging, in the case of mismatch thereof, the previously found conduction/non-conduction initial value. 2. The method of inspecting a storage state of a secondary battery in a battery pack according to claim 1, wherein the mismatch of the conduction/non-conduction initial value occurs from taking out any of the secondary batteries from any of the storage sections. 3. The method of inspecting a storage state of a secondary battery in a battery pack according to claim 2, wherein when any of the secondary batteries is taken out from any of the storage sections, and thereafter, a/the secondary battery is stored in the storage section, a conduction/non-conduction state between detection sections in the secondary battery is examined, an examined result thereof is compared to a changed conduction/non-conduction initial value, and a function of the battery pack is stopped in the case of mismatch thereof. 4. The method of inspecting a storage state of a secondary battery in a battery pack according to claim 1, wherein the battery pack further includes a memory means, andconduction/non-conduction states between detection sections in all secondary batteries are examined, and examined results thereof are memorized in the memory means, as the conduction/non-conduction initial value. 5. The method of inspecting a storage state of a secondary battery in a battery pack according to claim 1, wherein the conduction/non-conduction state between the detection sections in each of the secondary batteries is examined at predetermined time intervals. 6. A battery pack comprising: a plurality of secondary batteries; anda housing, the housing having a plurality of storage sections and containing the secondary batteries in the respective storage sections, whereina conductive member is attached to an outer surface of each of the secondary batteries made of a non-conductive material, wherein the conductive member is an aluminum strip and is electrically disconnected with each of the secondary batteries,each of the storage sections is provided with at least two same detection sections connected with the housing on a same side, anddepending on a storage state of each of the secondary batteries in each of the storage sections, two of the at least two same detection sections being in contact with the conductive member indicates a first initial value, or at least one of the at least two same detection sections being not in contact with the conductive member indicates a second initial value, and the first initial value and the second initial value are stored in a memory of the battery pack. 7. The battery pack according to claim 6, wherein the conductive member is attached to the outer surface of each of the secondary batteries so that a probability of a case in which the two detection sections are in contact with the conductive member and a probability of a case in which at least one detection section is not in contact with the conductive member become a predetermined value depending on the storage state of each of the secondary batteries in each of the storage sections. 8. The battery pack according to claim 6, wherein two or more detection sections are provided in each of the storage sections so that the probability of the case in which the two detection sections are in contact with the conductive member and the probability of the case in which at least one detection section is not in contact with the conductive member become the predetermined value depending on the storage state of each of the secondary batteries in each of the storage sections. 9. The battery pack according to claim 6, wherein a non-conductive member is attached to the outer surface of each of the secondary batteries made of the non-conductive material, the non-conducive member having the same appearance as that of the conductive member. 10. The battery pack according to claim 6 further comprising: a memory means, wherein a secondary battery with a conductive member in contact with two detection sections and a secondary battery with a conductive member not in contact with at least one detection section are memorized in the memory means as data depending on the storage state of each of the secondary batteries in each of the storage sections. 11. The battery pack according to claim 10, wherein when the number of the secondary batteries is N, the data is N-bit data. 12. The battery pack according to claim 6, wherein when the secondary batteries are contained in the storage sections, the conductive member is not allowed to be viewed. 13. The battery pack according to claim 6, wherein the conductive member is a seal member made of a conductive material. 14. A battery pack comprising: a plurality of secondary batteries;a housing, the housing having a plurality of storage sections and containing the secondary batteries in the respective storage sections; andan inspection circuit, whereina conductive member is attached to an outer surface of each of the secondary batteries made of a non-conductive material, wherein the conductive member is an aluminum strip and is electrically disconnected with each of the secondary batteries,each of the storage sections is provided with at least two same detection sections connected with the housing on a same side,depending on a storage state of each of the secondary batteries in each of the storage sections, two of the at least two same detection sections being in contact with the conductive member indicates a first initial value, or at least one of the at least two same detection sections being not in contact with the conductive member indicates a second initial value, and the first initial value and the second initial value are stored in a memory of the battery pack, andthe inspection circuit examines a conduction/non-conduction state between the detection sections in each of the secondary batteries, compares an examined result to a previously found conduction/non-conduction initial value, and in the case of mismatch thereof, changes the previously found conduction/non-conduction initial value. 15.
