A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising: a positive
electrode plate including an outer jacket comprising a sheet-shaped
positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active
material layer formed on an inner surface of the outer jacket except for
a peripheral portion thereof; a negative electrode plate including an
outer jacket comprising a sheet-shaped negative electrode current
collector and a negative electrode active material layer formed on an
inner surface of the outer jacket except for a peripheral portion
thereof; a separator layer comprising a polymer electrolyte interposed
between the positive electrode active material layer and the negative
electrode active material layer, wherein the peripheral portion of the
positive electrode current collector and the peripheral portion of the
negative electrode current collector are bonded together, with an
insulating material interposed therebetween.
