A secondary battery comprising:
- a case comprising a body having a cavity and a cover sealed to the body;
- and
- an electrode assembly in the cavity, the electrode assembly comprising:
- a first electrode plate comprising a first electrode collector having a coated portion coated with a first active material and an uncoated portion not coated with the first active material;
- a second electrode plate comprising a second electrode collector having a coated portion coated with a second active material;
- and
- a separator between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate,
- wherein the first electrode plate, the second electrode plate and the separator are stacked together,
- wherein the first electrode collector and the second electrode collector have substantially the same surface area,
- wherein the surface area of the coated portion of the second electrode plate is larger than the surface area of the coated portion of the first electrode plate, and
- wherein the first electrode plate is a positive electrode plate and the second electrode plate is a negative electrode plate.
