Provided is a technique for preventing plastic deformation of a battery case due to restraint during initial charging. A manufacturing method disclosed herein is a manufacturing method of a non-aqueous electrolyte solution secondary battery. This method includes assembling to construct a secondary battery assembly, and initial charging of the secondary battery assembly. In the initial charging, the initial charging is started with the secondary battery assembly restrained or not restrained; when a negative electrode potential of the secondary battery assembly reaches 0.6 V, a restraint force P1 is applied to the secondary battery assembly, wherein the restraint force P1 is greater than a restraint force applied before the negative electrode potential reaches 0.6 V; and the restraint force P1 is applied to the secondary battery assembly until the negative electrode potential reaches at least 0.3 V.

Non-aqueous electrolyte solution secondary battery and manufacturing method of non- aqueous electrolyte solution secondary battery

Provided is a technology capable of improving the impregnation efficiency of an electrolyte into an electrode body. In accordance with a preferable one embodiment of a method for manufacturing a secondary battery herein disclosed, a method for manufacturing a secondary battery including an electrode body, an electrolyte, and a battery case is provided. The manufacturing method includes a solution introducing step of introducing the electrolyte into the battery case, and a pressure reducing step of reducing the pressure in the battery case after the solution introducing step. After an elapse of 10 hours or more after the solution introducing step, the pressure reducing step is carried out.

Method for manufacturing secondary battery

According to the present disclosure, a secondary battery capable of inhibiting precipitation of metallic lithium is provided. A secondary battery disclosed herein includes a wound electrode body, and a battery case. An insufficiently stacked region is formed in the vicinity of a positive electrode starting end portion in a flat portion of the electrode body. In the insufficiently stacked region, the total number of layers of a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate is smaller than in other regions in the flat portion. In addition, in the secondary battery, a protruding portion protruding toward at least a part of the insufficiently stacked region is formed on an inner surface of the battery case. As a result, it is possible to prevent pressing failure in the insufficiently stacked region and inhibit precipitation of metal Li due to a local increase in an inter-electrode distance.
