Lithium batteries having excellent high rate characteristics and low-temperature characteristics, and less in evolution of gases and superior in discharge characteristics are provided by using LiCoO 2 mixed with CaO or Cr 2 O 3 or the like as an active material of positive electrode in combination with a non-aqueous electrolyte containing a mixed electrolyte salt comprising both a fluorine-containing inorganic anion lithium salt and a lithium imide salt. |
