Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress reduction in battery properties and enhance manufacturing yield.  <P>SOLUTION: A nonaqueous electrolyte battery has a battery element 2 in which a positive electrode 5 and a negative electrode 6 are wound in a length direction via a separator 7 and has a positive electrode collector exposing portion 11 and a negative electrode collector exposing portion 15 exposed, respectively, in a winding direction within a range from 10 mm to 100 mm near a winding center of the battery element 2. Consequently, the exposing portion 15 diffuses Joule heat caused when a current is flown out and suppresses the reduction in the battery properties. A positive electrode terminal 10 and a negative electrode terminal 14 are drawn out from positions at which center angles, which the electrode terminals 10, 14 form mutually with the winding center of the battery element 2, become about 120° or 240° in a winding axis direction of the battery element 2. Accordingly, roundness of an outer diameter of the battery element 2 is enhanced and the battery manufacturing yield is enhanced by inserting smoothly the battery element 2 into an exterior can 3.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
