NOVELTY - The battery (10) has a solid electrolyte layer (3) containing a solid electrolyte i.e. flame-retardant sulfide solid electrolyte, positioned between a positive electrode layer (2) and a negative electrode layer (4). An outer periphery end of the solid electrolyte layer exists outside outer periphery ends of the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer such that a center part (3a) which does not overlap with the positive or the negative electrode layers among the solid electrolyte layers in planar view decreases content of the electrolyte or does not contain the electrolyte.    USE - Solid battery i.e. lithium ion secondary battery, for an information technology equipment e.g. mobile telephone, and a vehicle e.g. electric vehicle and a hybrid vehicle. Can also be used as a sodium ion secondary battery and a potassium ion secondary battery.    ADVANTAGE - The center part which overlaps with the positive electrode layer or the negative electrode layer contains a solid electrolyte without including the solid electrolyte in the high strength part, so that production cost can be reduced, and performance of the battery can be maintained by decreasing usage-amount of the solid electrolyte. The outer periphery end of the negative electrode layer can be visually recognized from a side equipped with the positive electrode layer of the solid electrolyte layer while laminating the positive electrode layer, solid electrolyte layer and the negative electrode layer, so that an attachment precision can be improved without a need to enlarge the solid electrolyte layer and the negative electrode layer and material cost reduction and space saving effects of the battery can be attained. The outer peripheral end of the solid electrolyte layer is equipped with the high strength part, so that short circuit in the battery can be suppressed easily.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for manufacturing method a solid battery.
