Provided is a method of manufacturing a lithium rechargeable battery, wherein volume energy density and weight energy density are improved. Conductor layers as a whole, each of which is provided with a current-collector of a cell and an electrode terminal to be electrically connected to the current-collector, are formed on connecting faces of sheathing films having flexibility and barrier capability, and complexes having the conductor layers and the sheathing films integrated are created. The current-collectors are arranged inside paste-together areas, and at least portions of the electrode terminals are arranged outside the paste-together areas. An anode active-material precursor layer, an electrolyte precursor layer, and a cathode active-material precursor layer are added to the complexes, with the planar positions thereof matching the current-collectors, and crosslinking treatment of the anode active-material precursor layer, the electrolyte precursor layer, and the cathode active-material precursor layer is executed. Then the paste-together areas are pasted together, the sheathing films are joined together, and the cell is sealed. The crosslinking treatment may be omitted. |
