The lithium secondary battery according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be produced by producing an electrode assembly including a separator interposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode, charging the produced electrode assembly in a case, and injecting the electrolyte and sealing the case. Otherwise, the lithium secondary battery may be produced by charging the electrode assembly impregnated with an electrolyte in a case and sealing the case. A battery case may be any case which is commonly used in the lithium secondary battery field. As an example, the case may have a cylindrical shape, a square shape, a pouch shape, or a coin shape, but the present invention is not limited to the specific shapes of the battery case, of course.
The present invention includes a battery module, in which the secondary battery described above, as an example, a lithium secondary battery is used as a unit cell and the unit cells are connected in series or in parallel.
The present invention includes a device to which electric power is supplied by the secondary battery described above, as an example, the lithium secondary battery. As a specific example, the device may be an electric automobile, a hybrid electric automobile, a plug-in hybrid electric automobile, a system for power storage, and the like, but is not limited thereto.
