Provided is a lithium secondary cell in which elution of manganese from a manganese olivine compound into an electrolyte is suppressed, a high level of safety is obtained, the charge/discharge cycle efficiency and suppression of leakage of manganese during storage can be maintained over a long period, a long lifespan is obtained, a rapid decrease in cell voltage near the end of discharge is suppressed, and output characteristics are enhanced, when a manganese olivine compound having excellent stability during charge/discharge is used as the principal component in the positive electrode active material. The positive electrode contains a positive electrode active material containing an olivine compound represented by LiMm1-aXaPO4 (where X represents Mg and/or Fe, and a represents a value that satisfies 0@a@0.3) and a lithium nickel oxide represented by LiNi1-bZbO2 (where Z represents one or more selected from Co, Mn, Al, Mg, and V; and b represents a value that satisfies 0@b@0.4), the content of the olivine compound being from 50 to 95 mass %. |
