                     wherein said coiled electrode comprises an                    
                 elongated positive electrode, and elongated negative               
                 electrode, and a separator, said positive electrode                
                 and negative electrode separated by the separator and              
                 wound so that the positive electrode forms an                      
                 outermost electrode of the coil;                                   
                     wherein said positive electrode comprises a                   
                 positive-electrode mix layer and a positive-electrode              
                 collector made of a metallic foil having a first                   
                 surface, a second surface, an outermost end, and an                
                 innermost end;                                                     
                     wherein said positive-electrode mix layer is not              
                 formed on either the first or second surface of the                
                 positive electrode collector at the outermost end of               
                 the positive electrode collector;                                  
                      wherein said positive-electrode mix layer is                  
                 formed on either but not both of the first or second               
                 surfaces of the positive electrode collector at a                  
                 position adjacent to the outermost end of the positive             
                 electrode collector;                                               
                     wherein said positive-electrode mix layer is                  
                 formed on both the first and second surface of the                 
                 positive electrode collector on at least a portion of              
                 the positive electrode collector;                                  
                      wherein said negative electrode comprises a                   
                 negative-electrode mix layer containing a negative-                
                 electrode material which permits lithium ions to be                
                 doped/dedoped and a negative-electrode collector made              
                 of a metallic foil having a first surface, a second                
                 surface, an outermost end, and an innermost end;                   
                      wherein said negative-electrode mix layer is not              
                 formed on either the first or second surface of the                
                 negative electrode collector at the outermost end of               
                 the negative electrode collector;                                  
                      wherein said negative-electrode mix layer                     
                 material is formed on both the first and second                    
                 surface of the negative electrode collector on at
