Nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery and method for manufacturing nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery
A nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery includes an electrode body, a nonaqueous electrolyte, and a rectangular box-shaped battery case accommodating the electrode body and the nonaqueous electrolyte. The electrode body includes a positive electrode including a positive base and a positive composite material layer, a negative electrode including a negative base and a negative composite material layer, and a porous resin separator disposed therebetween. The electrode body has a low profile when the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the separator are laminated and rolled. When spring constant of the nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery with a load of 316 to 210 N/cm 2 and 95 to 74 N/cm 2 is respectively referred to as spring constant H and spring constant L, the ratio L/H is 0.34 or greater and 0.41 or less. A resistance increase rate between before and after a square wave test is less than or equal to 1.17.
