Non-aqueous electrolyte cell

A non-aqueous electrolyte cell comprising:

• an electrode assembly comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator separating the positive and negative electrodes;
• a non-aqueous electrolyte;
• a bottomed-cylindrical outer casing can housing the electrode assembly and the non-aqueous electrolyte, an end portion at an opening side of the outer casing can being crimp-sealed via a gasket;
• and
• a current output terminal having one end thereof connected to either one of the positive and negative electrodes and the other end protrude outside the cell through an opening of the bottomed-cylindrical outer casing can, wherein:
• the current output terminal comprises a column portion and a flange portion protruding outward from a surface of the column portion;
• both upper surface and lower surface of the flange portion are in contact with the gasket;
• a tapering corner portion is formed on the lower surface of the flange portion where the column portion and the flange portion intersect;
• and
• the bottomed-cylindrical outer casing can is crimped at a portion of the column portion lower than the flange portion.
