A battery includes first and second power generating elements laminated to each other. In the first power generating element, the inner layer of a first electrode current collector is in contact with a first electrode active material layer. In the second power generating element, the inner layer of a second electrode current collector is in contact with a second electrode active material layer. The outer layers of the first electrode current collector and the second electrode current collector are in contact with each other. The inner layer of the first electrode current collector contains a first material; the inner layer of the second electrode current collector contains a third material different from the first material; the outer layer of the second electrode current collector contains a second material different from the first material; and the outer layer of the first electrode current collector contains the second material.
