Abstract

A lithium secondary battery pack of the present invention includes: a lithium secondary battery including an electrode body formed of a positive electrode and a negative electrode facing each other and a separator interposed therebetween, and a non-aqueous electrolyte; a PTC element; and a protection circuit including a field effect transistor. The lithium secondary battery has an energy density per volume of 450 Wh/L or more, the lithium secondary battery has a current density of 3.0 mA/cm 2 or less, and a relational expression (1) and a relational expression (2) below are established where A (mΩ) is an impedance of the lithium secondary battery and B (mΩ) is an impedance of the entire circuit unit of the lithium secondary battery pack excepting the impedance A (mΩ) of the lithium secondary battery:

A ≤50 mΩ  (1)

B/A ≤1  (2).
