Abstract
A method for producing an alkaline primary battery includes: (1) forming a cylindrical positive electrode having a hollow; (2) inserting a cylindrical separator with a bottom into the hollow of the positive electrode, the separator including: a wound cylindrical portion; and a bottom portion that is substantially U-shaped in cross-section, the bottom portion covering an opening of the cylindrical portion at a lower end thereof and having an upstanding portion that extends along a lower outer face of the cylindrical portion; and (3) injecting an electrolyte into the separator. The amount of the electrolyte injected into the separator in the step (3) is sufficient to impregnate the positive electrode and the separator and immerse a lower end of the cylindrical portion of the separator in the electrolyte remaining in the separator, thereby bringing the lower end of the cylindrical portion into contact with the upstanding portion.
