A lithium secondary battery according to the present invention includes a positive electrode containing a positive electrode active material capable of occluding/releasing lithium ions; a negative electrode containing a negative electrode active material capable of occluding/releasing lithium ions; a separator located between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and an electrolyte having a lithium ion conductivity. The positive electrode active material contains a lithium nickel complex oxide substantially having an irreversible capacity; the negative electrode active material has lithium occluded thereto in advance; and in a completely discharged state of the lithium secondary battery when an environmental temperature is 25� C., an amount of lithium releasable from the negative electrode is larger than an irreversible capacity of the lithium secondary battery. |
