Abstract: A secondary battery in which temperature rise (heat generation) can be measured accurately at the time of quick charge/discharge, and a battery which can be configured readily using the secondary batteries while realizing low resistance. Separately from the positive and negative electrode terminals of a flat laminate film secondary battery, a third terminal is fixed perpendicularly thereto. The third terminal is connected with the electrode current collecting parts of a power generating element body constituting the secondary battery (1) and imparted with a potential equal to that of any one of the positive and negative electrode terminals. Inner temperature of the secondary battery is determined by measuring the temperature of the third terminal and a cell balancer circuit, or the like, is connected with the third terminal. The battery is configured by connecting the positive and negative electrode terminals directly in series.

Abstract: A drop of discharge or charge capacity in discharging or charging with a large current is reduced without changing a design of a lithium ion secondary battery itself. When the lithium ion secondary battery for a car or a vehicles such as an electric automobile and a hybrid automobile is discharged or charged with, for instance, a large current not less than 5 C, an intermittent power feeding of repeatedly executing a power feeding (t2) and a pause (t1) is carried out.

Abstract: A secondary battery including an electricity generating element, which includes at least a positive electrode implemented by a lithium-manganese compound oxide, a negative electrode, an electrolyte and a separator, and films encasing the electricity generating element is disclosed. The secondary battery further includes a composition causing the electrolyte to react with water to thereby produce hydrogen ions, and a hydrogen ion uptaking agent so positioned as to contact the electrolyte existing in the battery. The battery is desirable in charge-discharge cycle characteristic, storage characteristic, and safety. In addition, the battery swells little despite a repeated charge-discharge cycle or storage.
