This invention provides a
lithium secondary battery, comprising: a battery casing; an
electrode assembly housed within the battery casing; and an
electrolyte, wherein the
electrode assembly includes a positive
electrode comprising a positive electrode active material, a separator, and a negative electrode comprising a negative electrode active material, and the
electrolyte comprises LiPF6 as a
lithium salt and
ethylene carbonate as an
organic solvent, wherein the ratio of the
diameter (r) to the height (h) of the battery casing of the
lithium secondary battery (shape factor ratio) is 0.4 or more, and satisfies the condition of
mathematical formula (1), wherein in
mathematical formula (1), h is the height (mm) of the battery casing, r is the
diameter (mm) of the battery casing, and W LiPF6 The amount of LiPF6 relative to the total weight of the
electrolyte, expressed as a percentage (%), W EC It is the amount of
ethylene carbonate relative to the total weight of the electrolyte, expressed as a percentage (%), and W EL This represents the total weight (g) of the electrolyte contained in the lithium secondary battery. [
