Cylindrical alkaline storage battery

摘要

A cylindrical alkaline storage battery has a cylindrical case which contains an electrode assembly and an alkaline electrolyte. The assembly is formed by spirally winding a negative plate, a positive plate and a separator. The negative plate has a substrate having through holes and an active material layer which is disposed on the substrate and has an inner layer, an outer layer and a filler filled in the through holes. Each of the inner layer and outer layers has an overlapping portion which overlaps the adjacent positive plate via the separator. The filler has filling portions distributed in an area of the substrate that is covered by the overlapping portion of the inner and outer layers. The total amount of the active material contained in the overlapping portions and the filling portions ranges from 75% of the total amount of the active material in the negative plate to 100%.
