Abstract
A method of manufacturing a battery containing a non-circular spiral electrode unit forms a true circular or elliptical cylindrical electrode unit by winding positive and negative electrode plates with a micro-porous polymer film separator disposed between the two electrode plates. The cylindrical electrode unit is pressed from both sides into a non-circular spiral electrode unit and inserted into an external case to form a battery. When the cylindrical electrode unit is pressed into a non-circular spiral electrode unit, the separator gurley value of the pressed non-circular spiral electrode unit is arranged to be in the range from 110% to 150%, where the separator gurley value of the cylindrical electrode unit is 100%.
