Secondary cell

1. A secondary cell comprising:

an electrode body including

a plurality of electrode groups each including a plurality of positive electrodes, a plurality of negative electrodes, and at least one separator, the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes each being alternately stacked on each other with the separator interposed in between; and

at least one metal plate disposed between the electrode groups, wherein

electrodes that are disposed at both ends of each of the electrode groups are the negative electrodes,

the metal plate is in contact with a mixture layer of a negative electrode that constitutes at least one of the electrode groups, the metal plate being provided in a noncontact state with conductive members other than the mixture layer,

the metal plate is larger than a portion in which a mixture layer of each of the positive electrodes are formed, and is provided such that the metal plate and an entirety of the portion in which the mixture layer of each of the positive electrodes are formed overlap each other with the negative electrode in between, and

the metal plate is smaller than each of the negative electrodes and is provided such that an entirety of the metal plate overlaps each of the negative electrodes.

2. The secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the metal plate is larger than a thickness of a core material of each of the negative electrodes and positive electrodes.

3. The secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein

the separator is not disposed between the electrode groups and the single metal plate is disposed therebetween, and

the metal plate is in contact with mixture layers of the negative electrodes that constitute the electrode groups.
