NONAQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE SECONDARY BATTERY
In a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to one example of an embodiment, a winding type electrode body includes, at an outermost circumferential surface thereof, an exposed portion of a negative electrode collector and is provided with a tape which is adhered on the outermost circumferential surface from a winding-finish side end portion of a negative electrode and past a winding-finish end of the electrode body. The exposed portion is in contact with an inner circumferential surface of an exterior package can, and the tape has an easy-tear line formed in an extension portion extending from a position overlapping with the winding-finish end to a side opposite to an inner winding direction.
1 . A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising:
a winding type electrode body which, includes a positive electrode in which positive electrode mixture layers are formed on two surfaces of a positive electrode collector, a negative electrode in which negative electrode mixture layers are formed on two surfaces of a negative electrode collector, and a separator provided between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and
a bottom-closed cylindrical exterior package can which receives the electrode body,
wherein the electrode body has, at an outermost circumferential surface thereof, an exposed portion at which the negative electrode collector is exposed and is provided with a tape which is adhered on the outermost circumferential surface from a winding-finish side end portion of the negative electrode and past a winding-finish end of the electrode body,
the exposed portion is in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the exterior package can, and
the tape has an extension portion extending from a position overlapping with the winding-finish end of the electrode body to a side opposite to an inner winding direction and has at least one of an easy-tear portion and a tear-start portion in the extension portion.
2 . The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in the extension portion of the tape, at least one of the easy-tear portion and the tear-start portion is formed in a region of 1 mm from the position overlapping with the winding-finish end of the electrode body.
3 . The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 ,
wherein the easy-tear portion is at least one easy-tear line formed of a plurality of through-holes linearly disposed along an axial direction of the electrode body.
4 . The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 3 ,
wherein the number of the at least one easy-tear line is at least two.
5 . The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 ,
wherein the tape is adhered to at least one of two axial-direction end portions of the electrode body.
6 . The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 5 ,
wherein the tape is adhered to a region of 15 mm from at least one of two axial-direction ends of the electrode body.
7 . The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 5 ,
wherein, of the two axial-direction end portions of the electrode body, the tape is adhered to the end portion thereof at a bottom-portion side of the exterior package can.
