  • Publication number: 20250253413
    Abstract: A method for producing a lithium ion power storage device includes a step of forming a cylindrical cell and a step of accommodating the cylindrical cell in a casing. In the step of forming the cylindrical cell, the electrode foil and the separator are wound while applying tension in an extension direction to the laminated electrode foil and separator. In the step of forming the cylindrical cell, the cylindrical cell is formed by winding the electrode foil and the separator into a cylindrical shape. In the step of accommodating the cylindrical cell in the casing, the cylindrical cell is accommodated in a tubular casing together with an electrolytic solution. In the step of forming the cylindrical cell, a cylindrical cell in which a pressure of 0.5 MPa or more and 0.7 MPa or less is applied between the electrode foils facing each other via the separator is formed.
