Nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery

A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising:

• a winding type electrode body in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode including a negative electrode active material layer formed on a surface of a belt-shaped negative electrode collector are wound in a spiral shape with at least one separator interposed therebetween,
• wherein the negative electrode
• includes a negative electrode lead bonded to a winding start side end of the negative electrode collector,
• is wound at least one turn from a winding-direction inner end such that neither of inner side and outer side of the negative electrode in a radial direction faces, within the at least one turn from the winding-direction inner end, the positive electrode with the separator interposed therebetween, and
• includes an insulating tape adhered to the negative electrode collector so as to straddle a surface of the negative electrode lead in the winding direction,
• wherein the insulating tape is partially overlapped with the negative electrode active material layer, and covers a portion including a width-direction center of the negative electrode collector, said portion located between the electrode active material layer and the negative electrode lead, and
• wherein the negative electrode includes an un-covered portion in the winding start side end of the negative electrode collector, wherein a surface of the negative electrode collector is exposed at the un-covered portion.
