Abstract
There are provided an electrode assembly and a secondary battery using the same. An electrode assembly includes a first electrode plate having a first non-coating portion formed along one end portion in a length direction thereof; a second electrode plate having a second non-coating portion formed along the other end portion opposite to the first non-coating portion; and a separator interposed between the first and second electrode plates. In the electrode assembly, the first electrode plate, the second electrode plate and the separator are wound in a jelly-roll shape, and the electrode assembly further includes a clamping member that fixes at least one of the first and second non-coating portions. Accordingly, although the thickness of an electrode tab is increased, it is possible to simply manufacture high-power, high-capacity medium- and large sized batteries.
