NONAQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE SECONDARY BATTERY

A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes an electrode assembly and an electrolyte solution. The electrode assembly is impregnated with at least part of the electrolyte solution. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. The separator separates the positive electrode and the negative electrode from each other. The negative electrode includes a negative electrode active material. The negative electrode active material includes graphite. The following relation of a formula (1) is satisfied: "1.60≤NPR/AAR≤2.55". "NPR" represents a ratio of a negative electrode charging capacity to a positive electrode charging capacity, "AAR" represents a ratio of an effective discharging capacity of the negative electrode to a total of a capacity corresponding to an amount of inactive lithium adhered to the negative electrode and the effective discharging capacity of the negative electrode.
