NOVELTY - The battery has winding electrode body containing positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet (84) and electrolyte solution. The negative electrode sheet has negative electrode collector (88), and negative electrode compound material layer (83) formed on negative electrode collector and containing graphite particles (85). Both ends of negative electrode compound material layer is provided in winding axial direction of winding electrode body. The graphite particles are set with predetermined number, perpendicularity and inclination with respect to surface of negative electrode collector.    USE - Lithium ion secondary battery used as drive power supply of motor vehicle. Can also be used in e.g. hybrid vehicle, electric vehicle, motor vehicle with electric motor, fuel cell electric vehicle, fuel motor vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - Provides a lithium ion secondary battery that prevents outflow of electrolyte solution from the negative electrode, and suppresses increase in internal resistance when charging or discharging the lithium ion secondary battery.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The perpendicularity of the graphite particles is set to be greater than 60 degrees but less than 90 degrees with respect to the surface of the negative electrode collector. The inclination of the graphite particles is set to be greater than 0 degrees but less than 30 degrees with respect to the surface of the negative electrode collector. The number of graphite particles satisfies the condition m1 over m2, where m1 is the number of graphite particles and m2 is the number of graphite particles per unit area of the negative electrode compound material layer. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for the lithium ion secondary battery manufacture method.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing is a sectional view showing the structure of the negative electrode of the lithium ion secondary battery.
