Abstract: A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes an electrode body and a nonaqueous electrolyte solution. An electrolyte solution passage is a flow passage through which the nonaqueous electrolyte solution flows between the inside and the outside of the electrode body. A region of a negative-electrode composite material layer in contact with the electrolyte solution passage is a damming portion and a region located on the center side relative to the damming portion is a liquid retaining portion. The damming portion contains a negative electrode active material of which an electrical potential relative to a positive electrode active material is high and a ratio of expansion or contraction due to an increase or decrease in SOC is high, when compared to a negative electrode active material contained in the liquid retaining portion. The electrolyte solution passage can be closed by the damming portion in a charge state where the damming portion expands.

Abstract: In a case where high-rate deterioration of a secondary battery progresses before execution of external charging by a charging device, an electronic control unit (ECU) executes an SOC adjustment process of adjusting an SOC of the secondary battery such that the SOC falls within a predetermined range. The predetermined range is a range where an expansion-contraction change of a negative electrode of the secondary battery along with charge and discharge of the secondary battery is small as compared with a case where the SOC is out of the predetermined range. After the execution of the SOC adjustment process, the ECU executes a process of moderating the high-rate deterioration so as to moderate the high-rate deterioration, and then executes the external charging.
