Abstract: A stacked lithium ion secondary battery is characterized in that: a positive terminal is taken out from positive electrodes of a battery element stack in which the positive electrodes and negative electrodes are stacked via separators; a negative terminal is taken out from the negative electrodes; the battery element stack, except the taken-out portions of the positive and negative terminals, is covered with a porous plastic film; and an opening of the battery element stack covered with the porous plastic film is sealed with a film-like covering material.

Abstract: A stacked secondary battery is formed by laying plate-shaped positive electrodes and plate-shaped negative electrodes one on the other by way of separators, wherein a collector is disposed at the front end of the end facet of each of the positive electrodes or the negative electrodes as viewed in a direction orthogonal relative to the stacking direction and has an active substance layer formed on the collector by applying slurry of particles of an active substance with a gap separating it from the front end or the electrode active substance layer is made to show a thickness varying from the front end toward the inside.
