A secondary battery including a jelly roll configuration type electrode assembly formed by winding a stack of two electrodes having different polarities and at least one separator for preventing a short circuit between the two electrodes, a case for containing the electrode assembly, and electrode tabs for connecting the two electrodes of the electrode assembly to an outside of the case, wherein a level for extracting the electrode tabs from the electrode assembly is substantially equal to a level for extracting the electrode tabs from the case. The electrode assembly may be formed to be a jelly roll having an elliptical shape or a track shape. In one exemplary embodiment, the electrode tabs are used in a pouch having a hollow for containing the electrode assembly in only one side. Also, the electrode tabs are extend linearly from the pouch. |
