Abstract
There are provided coiled electrode batteries with high yields, while short-circuiting in the batteries is prevented. A coiled electrode battery according to the invention has coiled electrodes consisting of positive and negative poles 21, 22 and two separators 23 lying between them. In the coiled electrodes, insulating layers 216, 226 made of insulating resin are formed on both sides of the proximal sections of the protrusions 213, 223 of the positive and negative poles 21, 22. Thus, even if the non-protruding sections of the positive and negative electrodes 21, 22 become exposed due to winding misalignment of the separators 23 in the lengthwise direction, the presence of the insulating layers 216, 226 prevents short-circuits between the proximal sections of the protrusions 213, 223 of the positive and negative electrodes 21, 22. As a result, yields are increased as short-circuits are avoided inside the battery.
