CYLINDRICAL SECONDARY BATTERY

The cylindrical secondary battery is provided with a wound electrode body, a positive electrode tab connected to a positive electrode, a cylindrical case body for housing the electrode body and the positive electrode tab, and a sealing body for sealing an opening of the case body. A negative electrode has, at a winding end of the negative electrode, a negative electrode current collector exposure section where no negative electrode active material layer is disposed, and the negative electrode current collector exposure section is disposed in contact with an inner surface of the case body. The positive electrode tab is disposed at the center in the longitudinal direction of the positive electrode and in a region where the number of layers of the positive electrode in a radial direction is smaller than in other regions in a cross-sectional area of the wound electrode body.
