A lithium-ion cell includes a housing comprising a metallic tubular housing part made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy with a terminal circular opening. The cell further includes a contact element that closes the terminal circular opening of the tubular housing part, the contact element comprising a metal disk, a contact sheet metal member, a metal pole pin and an insulator. In addition, the cell includes an electrode-separator assembly having an anode, a cathode, and a separator with the sequence anode/separator/cathode. The electrode-separator assembly is in the form of a cylindrical winding with two terminal end faces and a winding shell located therebetween. The electrode-separator assembly is disposed in the winding and is axially aligned so that the winding shell abuts an inside of the tubular housing part.
