Abstract
A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is provided and includes a battery element in which a positive electrode having a positive electrode active material layer provided on a positive electrode collector and a negative electrode having a negative electrode active material layer provided on a negative electrode collector are stacked via a separator, and an edge of the negative electrode is disposed so as to protrude along the planar direction relative to an edge of the positive electrode. A positive electrode terminal is connected to the positive electrode, and a negative electrode terminal is connected to the negative electrode. The negative electrode terminal has a contact piece intersecting with the continuous direction of the edge of the negative electrode and intersecting with the planar direction of the negative electrode. The contact piece comprehensively cleaves and contacts a plurality of the edges of the negative electrode.
