<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nonaqueous electrolyte battery offering excellent output characteristics, and a battery pack comprising the nonaqueous electrolyte battery. <P>SOLUTION: The nonaqueous electrolyte battery comprises a nonaqueous electrolytic solution, a positive electrode 3, a negative electrode 4, and a separator 5. The nonaqueous electrolytic solution contains an asymmetric sulfone compound represented by the formula 1: R<SB POS="POST">1</SB>-SO<SB POS="POST">2</SB>-R<SB POS="POST">2</SB>, where R<SB POS="POST">1</SB>≠R<SB POS="POST">2</SB>, and R<SB POS="POST">1</SB>and R<SB POS="POST">2</SB>each represent a C1-C10 alkyl group; and a symmetric sulfone compound represented by the formula 2: R<SB POS="POST">3</SB>-SO<SB POS="POST">2</SB>-R<SB POS="POST">3</SB>, where R<SB POS="POST">3</SB>represents a C1-C6 alkyl group. The positive electrode contains a complex oxide represented by Li<SB POS="POST">1-x</SB>Mn<SB POS="POST">1.5-y</SB>Ni<SB POS="POST">0.5-z</SB>M<SB POS="POST">y+z</SB>O<SB POS="POST">4</SB>, where 0≤x≤1, 0≤y+z≤0.15, and M represents at least one kind of element selected from Mg, Al, Ti, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Nb, Sn, Zr, and Ta. The negative electrode contains an oxide containing Ti and capable of absorbing and desorbing lithium. The separator is composed of a nonwoven fabric. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
