A liquid-absorbent composition, which has a liquid-absorbent crosslinked
resin that exhibits excellent absorption of the nonaqueous electrolyte of
nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cells that constitute a nonaqueous
electrolyte battery pack (and particularly a lithium ion nonaqueous
electrolyte rechargeable battery pack), contains a powder of a
liquid-absorbent crosslinked resin produced by crosslinking a methyl
vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer with a polyfunctional isocyanate
compound, and a binder resin. Also, a liquid-absorbent sheet for a
nonaqueous electrolyte battery pack contains supporting substrate and
formed on one side of a supporting substrate a liquid-absorbent
crosslinked resin layer, produced by crosslinking a methyl vinyl
ether/maleic anhydride copolymer with a polyfunctional isocyanate
compound. The nonaqueous electrolyte battery pack contains a battery case
and disposed within the battery pack a nonaqueous electrolyte battery
cell, a wiring circuit board, and an electrolyte absorption member formed
from the liquid-absorbent sheet for absorbing electrolyte in the event
that electrolyte leaks from the nonaqueous electrolyte battery cell.
