A cell assembly before initial charging, comprising an electrode body having a positive electrode and a negative electrode, a nonaqueous electrolytic solution including a nonaqueous solvent and a supporting salt, and a case housing the electrode body and the nonaqueous electrolytic solution, wherein
- the negative electrode has a negative electrode mixture layer including a particulate negative electrode active material made of amorphous-coated graphite in which the surface of graphite particles is coated with amorphous carbon;
- the nonaqueous electrolytic solution includes lithium fluorosulfonate (FSO3Li);
- and
- an oil absorption amount of the negative electrode active material is 35 ml/100 g to 50 ml/100 g, and a weight proportion of the lithium fluorosulfonate in the nonaqueous electrolytic solution is 0.65 wt % to 0.85 wt %.
