A cylindrical nonaqueous electrolytic secondary battery is comprised of a roughly cylindrical electrode group in which a band-shaped positive electrode formed with a positive electrode mixture layer in a positive electrode current collector and a band-shaped negative electrode formed with a negative pole mixture layer in a negative electrode current collector are wound with a band-shaped separator between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, a nonaqueous electrolyte, cylindrical battery case with a bottom which houses the electrode group and the nonaqueous electrolyte, and a negative electrode lead which electrically connects the negative electrode and the battery case. The negative electrode is composed of a two-sided coated section which forms the negative electrode mixture layer on both sides of the negative electrode current collector, a single-sided coated section which forms the negative electrode mixture layer on one side of the negative electrode current collector, and an uncoated section where both sides of the negative electrode current collector are exposed. The single-sided coated section and the uncoated section are arranged on the outermost periphery of the electrode group. The single-sided coated section and the exposed parts of the negative electrode current collector of the uncoated section are in direct contact with the inner surface of the battery case.
