Abstract:
A battery pack which includes: a battery cell which contains a non-aqueous electrolyte, wherein the battery cell is a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery; a casing which stores the battery cell; and at least one liquid leakage sensor which detects liquid leakage from the battery cell, wherein the casing and/or the battery cell have a leaked liquid retention region in which the non-aqueous electrolyte tends to be retained when the non-aqueous electrolyte leaks out of the battery cell, wherein the liquid leakage sensor outputs measurement information as a detection result without using a charging/discharging circuit which charges and discharges the battery cell, and wherein at least one sensor unit of the liquid leakage sensor is provided in the leaked liquid retention region.
Abstract:
A lithium ion secondary battery with a high electrode density and an excellent rate discharge characteristic. The positive electrode includes a positive electrode active material of a compound represented by Lia(NixCoyAl1−x−y)O2 (0.95:≦a≦1.05, 0.5≦x≦0.9, 0.05≦y≦0.2), and carbon adhered to the surface of the material, in the Raman spectrum using a laser of 532 nm, the positive electrode includes a peak PA (D band) at 1200˜1450 cm−1, a peak PB (G band) at 1450˜1700 cm−1 and a peak PC at 400˜600 cm−1, and when the intensities are normalized by regarding the maximum intensity as 1 and the minimum intensity as 0 in the wavenumber domain of 200˜1800 cm−1, Raman intensity of the minimum (V band) between the two peaks of said peak PA and said peak PB is 0.6 or less, and Raman intensity of said peak PC is 0.1 or more and 0.5 or less.
