Abstract

A lithium-ion rechargeable battery includes an electrode body including a stack of a cathode plate having a cathode mixture layer, an anode plate having an anode mixture layer, and a separator arranged between the anode plate and the cathode plate. A porosity PP of the cathode mixture layer and a porosity NP of the anode mixture layer are set to be greater than a porosity SP of the separator.

Claims (25)

1 . A lithium-ion rechargeable battery, comprising:

an electrode body including a stack of a cathode plate having a cathode mixture layer, an anode plate having an anode mixture layer, and a separator arranged between the anode plate and the cathode plate,
