What is claimed is: 1. A battery comprising: a positive electrode, and a negative electrode, wherein, the positive electrode and the negative electrode are spirally wound to form a wound body, the negative electrode comprises (1) an active material layer having active material particles including a first particle having silicon and a second particle having carbon, and (2) a negative electrode current collector having (a) a first principal plane facing outward and corresponding to an outer face of the wound body and (b) a second principal plane facing inward and corresponding to an inner face of the wound body, the first principal plane has a first surface roughness in a range of 0.2 μm to 3.0 μm, both inclusive, a difference between the first surface roughness of the first principal plane of the negative electrode current collector and a second surface roughness of the second principal plane of the negative electrode current collector is greater than 0.05 μm, and each of the first surface roughness and the second surface roughness is an arithmetic mean surface roughness R a . 2. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode current collector has a thickness in a range of 5 μm to 30 μm, both inclusive. 3. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the first surface roughness of the first principal plane of the negative electrode current collector is higher than the second surface roughness of the second principal plane of the negative electrode current collector. 4. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the active material layer of the negative electrode has a thickness of 70 μm or more. 5. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode comprises a lithium transition metal composite oxide including a metal element selected from the group consisting of cobalt, nickel, and manganese. 6. The battery according to claim 5 , wherein the metal element is nickel. 7. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the active material layer of the negative electrode has a peak in a diffraction pattern obtained by X-ray diffraction analysis using CuKα of 30° to 60°, and half a width of the peak is 0.5° or more at 2θ. 8. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the active material particles has diameters in the range of 0.1 μm to 25 μm, both inclusive. 9.
