Abstract
A lithium-ion battery with high safety is provided. A lithium-ion battery 20 includes an electrode group 6, an electrolyte, and a battery container 5 that contains the electrode group 6 and the electrolyte. The electrode group 6 is formed by stacking a positive electrode and a negative electrode via a separator. The positive electrode contains a composite oxide of lithium, nickel, manganese, and cobalt as a main positive active material. The negative electrode contains amorphous carbon as a main negative active material. The lithium-ion battery 20 has a discharge capacity of 20 Ah or more. The ratio (the value of Y/X) of a volume Y occupied by the electrolyte to a volume X of a void space in the battery container 5 is 0.65 or more.
