Abstract: An electrode plate is configured by applying an active material onto a base member formed of a punching steel plate, the electrode plate being wound via a separator together with an electrode plate, which has a different polarity, and having an outermost peripheral portion positioned at the outermost periphery of an electrode assembly. The rate of hole area of the base member at a different electrode overlapping portion, which radially inwardly overlaps on a winding terminal end of the electrode plate having the different polarity, is smaller than that of the base member at the outermost peripheral portion.

Abstract: Disclosed is a negative electrode for an alkaline secondary battery, which can suppress elution of iron to improve the long-period storage property of the battery capacity even under conditions in which elution of iron in a substrate into an electrolyte solution tends to occur, and which can also suppress lowering of initial capacity and increase in internal resistance. Even under conditions in which the elution of iron in the substrate into an electrolyte solution tends to occur, including a case where there is a thin conductive protecting layer at the surface or where the conductive protecting layer has defects, by adding magnesium or a magnesium compound to the negative electrode for an alkaline secondary battery (excluding the case where magnesium is contained as a constituent element of a hydrogen storage alloy), the elution of iron can be suppressed, and thereby, the long-period storage property of the battery capacity can be improved and the lowering of the initial capacity and the increase in internal resistance can be suppressed.
