Patent attributes
A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes: a separator including a polyolefin porous film; a porous layer containing a polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin; a positive electrode plate having a capacitance falling within a specific range; and a negative electrode plate having a capacitance falling within a specific range. The polyolefin porous film has a given piercing strength, having a value of not less than 0.00 and not more than 0.54, the value being represented by the following expression: |1−T/M|, where T and M are distances at which a critical load is reached in a scratch test in which the polyolefin porous film is moved in transverse and machine directions, respectively, under a constant load of 0.1N. The polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin contains an α-form polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin in an amount of not less than 35.0 mol %.
