ていた。However, in the above-described initial charging, a part of the electrode plate inside the secondary battery is not charged uniformly, or the ambient temperature of the charged battery varies depending on each battery. Due to variations in the accuracy of the charging equipment and the like, the variation in the open circuit voltage immediately after the completion of the initial charging is large, and the state is maintained and expanded even after the aging is completed. Furthermore, during aging, if metal impurities or the like in the positive electrode exist, they become metal ions on the positive electrode and elute into the electrolytic solution, become metal on the negative electrode and precipitate in dendrite form, And a small internal short circuit may occur. In such a secondary battery, if the voltage before the occurrence of a micro short-circuit is distributed in a direction having a higher variation, it is difficult to eliminate defective products at the time of the final inspection, and to improve quality.
