In a charging method for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery which includes a positive electrode including a lithium-containing composite oxide as an active material, a negative electrode including an alloy-formable negative electrode active material, and a non-aqueous electrolyte, a voltage of the secondary battery is detected. When the detected value is smaller than a predetermined voltage x, charging is performed at a comparatively small current value B. When the detected value is equal to or greater than the predetermined voltage x and smaller than a predetermined voltage z, charging is performed at a comparatively great current value A. When the detected value is equal to or greater than the predetermined voltage z and smaller than a predetermined voltage y, charging is performed at a comparatively small current value C. When the detected value is greater than the predetermined voltage y, constant-voltage charging is performed or charging is terminated. Here, x

A positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode including an alloy-type negative electrode active material are stacked in this order, to form an electrode unit. Such electrode units are stacked with a separator interposed between each pair of the electrode units, to form a stacked electrode assembly. The stacked electrode assembly is fabricated, and the stacked electrode assembly is pressed during an initial charge and an initial discharge. As a result, a rate of increase of the thickness of the stacked electrode assembly due to a predetermined number of charge and discharge cycles becomes equal to or less than 10%. It is thus possible to obtain a lithium ion secondary battery having high capacity and high output, capable of maintaining battery performance such as charge/discharge cycle characteristics at a high level for a long time, and having long service life.
