The negative electrode tab (21) includes a negative electrode facing portion (21a) facing the negative electrode (12) and a lead-out portion (21b) that is shorter in length than a portion which is of the negative electrode facing portion and has the longest length in the longitudinal direction of the negative electrode in an expanded state and is led out to the outside with respect to one end of the negative electrode in the width direction. The portion having the longest length of the negative electrode facing portion is wound around 0.75 times or more and a root portion which is the boundary of the lead-out portion with the negative electrode facing portion is wound around less than 0.5 times. At least one groove (22) extending along the width direction of the negative electrode is provided in the negative electrode facing portion."
