LITHIUM BATTERY

A lithium battery includes a cathode including a cathode active material; an anode including an anode active material; and an organic electrolytic solution between the cathode and the anode, wherein the anode active material includes a carbonaceous anode active material and a metallic anode active material, in an XRD spectrum of the anode, a peak intensity ratio (la/lb) of a peak intensity (la) of a carbonaceous anode active material oriented in a direction non-parallel to a surface of the anode to all peak intensities (lb) of the carbonaceous anode active material oriented in all directions is about 0.15 or more, and the organic electrolytic solution includes a first lithium salt, an organic solvent, and a bicyclic sulfate-based compound represented by Formula 1 below:
