Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This charging method is A method for charging a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell containing a lithium-rich positive-electrode active material. When constant-current charging is performed to a predetermined voltage V 2 which is equal to or higher than a setting voltage V 1, and then constant-current discharging is performed to a predetermined voltage V 3, V 3 <V 1 ≤V 2 is satisfied. Cell capacity C 1 at V 1, cell capacity C 2 at V 2, and cell capacity C 3 at V 3 satisfy 0.99C 1 ≤C 3 <C 2.

First claim
