(57) [Summary] (With correction) [PROBLEMS] To provide a lithium secondary battery having good storage characteristics in a charged state. A positive electrode having an aluminum foil containing 0.6 to 2% by weight of manganese as a current collector, a negative electrode, and a non-aqueous electrolyte obtained by dissolving a lithium salt in a non-aqueous solvent are provided. A divalent manganese salt selected from manganese acetate, manganese sulfate, manganese benzoate, manganese carbonate and manganese nitrate is added to the non-aqueous electrolyte. |
