According to an embodiment, an electrode is provided. The electrode group includes a stack. The stack includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode or negative electrodes, and separator. Each negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode layer provided on the negative electrode current collector. The electrode group satisfies following relational formulae (I) to (III): 10≦a1/b1≦16 (I); 0.7≦D1/E1≦1.4 (II); E1≦85 (III). Here, the a1 [mm] is a thickness of the stack. The b1 [mm] is a thickness of the negative electrode current collector, or is a total thickness of the negative electrode current collectors. The D1 [μm] is a thickness of the positive electrode. The E1 [μm] is a thickness of the negative electrode.

According to one embodiment, a nonaqueous electrolyte battery includes a negative electrode, a positive electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. When the nonaqueous electrolyte battery is discharged at a constant current of 0.5 C until a voltage becomes 1.5 V, a curve obtained by taking dQ/dV during the discharge as a vertical axis and voltage as a horizontal axis has a first peak and a second peak. The firs peak is a peak that appears within a range of from 2.54 V to 2.65 V, and the second peak is a peak that appears within a range of from 2.4 V to less than 2.54 V. A dQ/dV peak intensity A of the first peak and a dQ/dV peak intensity B of the second peak satisfy 0.8≦A/B 1.0.
