By the way, in a battery using an organic electrolyte-based electrolytic solution, a resin film having a large number of directional fine pores called a microporous resin film as a constituent material of the separator increases the volume on the positive electrode side accompanying the reaction. The resin film having a large number of directional fine pores (hereinafter referred to as a microporous resin film) is preferably used because it has a good liquid-retaining property and does not cause deterioration of battery characteristics even if It is used as a separator by laminating non-woven fabric such as polypropylene non-woven fabric or polyethylene non-woven fabric, or by laminating microporous resin films. In particular, a laminate of a microporous polypropylene film and a polypropylene nonwoven fabric is preferably used, and the microporous polypropylene film is usually arranged so as to face the negative electrode.

As a result of various studies to find out the cause of occurrence of such an internal short circuit and to find a preventive measure for such an internal short circuit, the present inventors have found that such an internal short circuit is swirled in the long axis direction of the micropores of the microporous resin film. When arranged in a direction perpendicular to the winding direction when wound in a spiral shape, it is caused by the widening of the micropores when wound in a spiral shape. Since it is dendritic and the width of the micropores widens, it becomes easier for lithium to penetrate through the separator and internal short-circuiting will occur more frequently, and the microporous resin film will have a spiral shape in the longitudinal direction of the micropores. When the spiral electrode is manufactured by arranging so that the spiral direction is the same as the winding direction when winding, the micropores extend in the length direction, but the width becomes narrower, so the internal short circuit is prevented and the separator effect is further improved. That Out, it has led to the completion of the present invention.

The battery of Example 1 and the battery of Comparative Example 1 manufactured as described above were charged / discharged at a constant current of 1.0 mA between 1.5 V and 2.7 V, and the relationship between the number of cycles and the charge / discharge ratio was examined. The results are shown in FIG. The charge / discharge ratio is as shown in the following equation. It is the ratio of the amount of discharged electricity and the amount of charged and discharged electricity in each cycle. The closer the charge / discharge ratio is to 1, the better the charge / discharge characteristics.

As shown in FIG. 3, the battery of Example 1 had a charge / discharge ratio close to 1 as compared with the battery of Comparative Example 1, and the charge / discharge characteristics were excellent. The battery of Comparative Example 1 has a high charge / discharge ratio because the micropores of the microporous pyripropylene film are opened during the spiral rotation, and the dendritic electrodeposited lithium penetrates from there to the positive electrode side. This is probably due to an internal short circuit. The reason why the battery of Example 1 has excellent charge / discharge characteristics is probably because the micropores of the microporous polypropylene film were not opened and the occurrence of internal short circuit due to the dendritic lithium was deposited. Be done.
