Abstract

A secondary battery in which an electrode assembly including positive electrodes, negative electrodes, and separators disposed between the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes, and an electrolyte are housed in an exterior body. The electrode assembly has a step structure including a first region having a relatively high cross-sectional height and a second region having a relatively low cross-sectional height adjacent to the first region. The electrode assembly includes at least one of a positive electrode side connecting portion and a negative electrode side connecting portion in the first region. At least one of a positive electrode side extended portion and a negative electrode side extended portion in the second region is configured to be electrically connected to an external terminal.
