Abstract
A lithium secondary battery having a high capacity and excellent in charge-discharge efficiency, cycle life, flatness of a discharge voltage, and rapid charge-discharge cycle characteristics is disclosed. This lithium secondary battery includes a positive electrode housed in a case, a negative electrode housed in the case and containing a carbonaceous material which has an exothermic peak at 700.degree. C. or more when measured by a differential thermal analysis and an intensity ratio P.sub.101 /P.sub.100 of a (101) diffraction peak P.sub.101 to a (100) diffraction peak P100 of a graphite structure, obtained by X-ray diffraction analysis, of 0.7 to 2.2, and absorbs and desorbs lithium ions, a separator housed in the case so as to be arranged between the positive and negative electrodes, and a nonaqueous electrolyte contained in the case.
