Abstract
A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes: an electrode group including a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and a separator. The positive and negative electrode plates are wound with the separator interposed therebetween. The positive electrode plate includes a first current collector exposed portion where a portion of the positive electrode current collector corresponding to an outermost portion of the electrode group is exposed over a length of greater than or equal to one turn in a winding direction of the electrode group, and a second current collector exposed portion where a portion of the positive electrode current collector corresponding to a middle portion of the electrode group is exposed over a length of greater than or equal to one turn in the winding direction. A positive electrode lead is provided on the second current collector exposed portion so as to be connected to an external electrode.
