NOVELTY - A non-aqueous electrolyte battery consists of an anode (3) containing an active-material layer (2), a cathode (6) containing an active-material layer (5), and a separator. An insulating resin film (9) is provided in the portion in which the anode collector exposure portion (8) and cathode active-material layer oppose through the separator. The insulating resin film contains a heat-resistant resin and particles of oxyhydroxylated aluminum, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, zinc borate, dawsonite, and/or talc.    USE - Non-aqueous electrolyte battery is used as power supply for electric vehicles, electric chairs, portable electronic devices, such as mobile telephones and notebook personal computers, load leveling, and domestic and commercial electric-power storage systems.    ADVANTAGE - The non-aqueous electrolyte battery has excellent safety, as generation of short circuit with anode collector exposure portion and cathode is prevented. The heat-resistant resin has excellent strength and stability with respect to non-aqueous electrolyte.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A non-aqueous electrolyte battery consists of an anode (3) containing a collector (1) and an active-material layer (2) formed on the collector, a cathode (6) containing a collector (4) and an active-material layer (5) formed on the collector, and a separator provided between the anode and cathode. The anode has an exposure portion in the collector in which the active-material layer is not formed. An insulating resin film (9) is provided in the portion in which the anode collector exposure portion (8) and cathode active-material layer oppose through the separator. The insulating resin film uses a heat-resistant resin having an allowable temperature limit of 150 degrees C or more, as the base, and contains inorganic particles (30-99 wt.%) of oxyhydroxylated aluminum, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, zinc borate, dawsonite, and/or talc.
