A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery capable of withstanding a
reflow temperature has a positive electrode having a conductive material,
a binder, and an electrode active material selected from the group
consisting of LiCoO.sub.2, LiNiO.sub.2 and LiMn.sub.2 O.sub.4. A negative
electrode has a conductive material, a binder and an electrode active
material selected from the group consisting of a titanium oxide having an
anatase structure, lithium titanate having a spinel structure and a
molybdenum oxide. An electrolyte has a supporting salt and a non-aqueous
solvent having a boiling point greater than 200.degree. C. A gasket is
comprised of a material having a heat deformation temperature greater than
230.degree. C. A separator is disposed between the positive electrode and
the negative electrode and is comprised of a material having a heat
deformation temperature greater than 230.degree. C. At least one of the
positive electrode and the negative electrode comprises an electrode
heat-treated to a temperature of 250.degree. C. to 450.degree. C. for
deactivating a thermally active portion of each of the conductive
material, the binder and the electrode active material thereof.
