Original Abstract Submitted

A battery has a separator, a positive electrode active material layer, a positive electrode side current collector, an adhesive layer, a negative electrode side current collector, and a negative electrode active material layer, in that order. The negative electrode side current collector has a first through-holes that are provided at a non-formation portion at which the negative electrode active material layer is not formed, and a second through-holes that are provided at the region where the negative electrode active material layer is formed. A gap is provided between the adhesive layer and the negative electrode side current collector. The gap is provided so as to communicate the first through-hole and the second through-hole.
