The invention discloses a manufacturing method of a high-energy-density button lithium ion battery. The method comprises the following steps: stamping: stamping a positive electrode and a negative electrode into small pieces by using cutting dies; hot melting: making positive pieces and membranes into a positive piece-membrane complex; laminating: alternatively laminating the positive piece-membrane complex and negative pieces into a polar group, and rubberizing the polar group; welding: laminating an aluminum foil of the same shape as the positive pieces on one side of the polar group which is in contact with a positive cover, welding the lug of the aluminum foil and the lugs of the positive pieces together, welding the lugs of the negative pieces and a nickel belt together, putting the materials into a shell, and welding the nickel belt and a negative shell together; and performing baking, liquid injection, sealing, ageing and pre-charging to make a complete button lithium ion battery. Compared with an existing process, the method has the advantages that the space of the shell can be fully utilized, and the energy density is high; and through adoption of the positive piece-membrane complex made by hot melting, short circuit caused by contact of the positive and negative pieces is prevented, and the safety is high.
