Abstract

A lithium ion rechargeable battery includes an electrode assembly and an electrolyte solution. A negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer formed on a surface of the negative electrode. The negative electrode is doped with lithium. An aperture ratio of the negative electrode current collector is 0% or higher and 0.1% or lower. A discharge capacity ratio X, which is defined by Formula (1): X=C1/C2, is greater than 0, and 0.9 or less. C1 in the Formula (1) is a discharge capacity of a cell when the cell is charged and discharged at a cell voltage between 2.0 V and 4.3 V. C2 in the Formula (1) is a discharge capacity of the negative electrode when the negative electrode is charged and discharged between 0V vs. Li/Li+ and 3V vs. Li/Li+.
