Abstract

In an electric storage element, a negative electrode has a negative-electrode collector and a negative-electrode active material layer provided on a principal face of the negative-electrode collector, the positive electrode having a positive-electrode collector and a positive-electrode active material layer provided on a principal face of the positive-electrode collector, and the separator insulating the negative electrode and the positive electrode, are stacked and wound together. A negative-electrode terminal and a positive-electrode terminal are electrically connected to the negative-electrode collector and the positive-electrode collector, respectively, and projects from a winding structure along a direction of a center axis of winding. A first protective tape covers the negative-electrode terminal and has lower ion permeability than that of the separator. The positive electrode has, in a part facing the first protective tape via the separator, a first region for inhibiting release of lithium ions therefrom.
