Abstract
A disclosed method of manufacturing a battery includes the steps of: (A) suction-attaching a first separator and a second separator to a winding core, with the first separator and the second separator being stacked on each other; and (B) winding the first separator and the separator around the winding core. Each of the first separator and the second separator includes a porous substrate layer made of resin, and at least one surface layer formed on at least one surface of the substrate layer.

A method of manufacturing a battery including a wound electrode assembly wherein a first separator, a negative electrode plate, a second separator, and a positive electrode plate are wound together, the method comprising the steps of:
- (A) suction-attaching the first separator and the second separator to a winding core, with the first separator and the second separator being stacked on each other;
- and
- (B) winding the first separator and the second separator around the winding core, wherein:
- each of the first separator and the second separator includes a porous substrate layer made of resin, and at least one surface layer formed on at least one surface of the substrate layer,
- each of the first separator and the second separator includes a plurality of the surface layers respectively formed on both surfaces of the substrate layer;
- each of the surface layers comprises a three-dimensional network structure containing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF),
- in each of the first separator and the second separator, each of the surface layers contains the PVdF in a mass percentage of greater than or equal to 10%,
