Abstract
A positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet are laminated and wound around a shaft corewhile being insulated by a separator. Spreading operation platesP andN are fitted to both ends of the shaft corein a winding axis direction, and operation protrusionsA toB of the spreading operation platesP andN protrude from both flat end surfaces of a wound body. The spreading operation platesP andN are spread, so that laminate parts of a positive electrode connection partA and a negative electrode connection partA are pushed and extended outward on the flat end surfaces of the wound body, and V-shaped openingsV continuous with the innermost peripheries of the wound bodyare formed. The laminate parts are welded to positive and negative electrode current collectorsand
