To-prevent damage of an electrode at the time of insertion by enclosing the electrode with a push-in guide plate having resilience and electroconductivity, inserting it in a sheath can, and thereby making the inserting operation easy and certain.
A secondary battery with non-aqueous electrolyte is equipped with a sheath can 1 and an electrode 2 as power-generating element to be inserted in the can 1. Together with an insulating member 10 this electrode 2 is enwrapped with a push-in guide plate 3 in a certain specified shape having a resiliece and electroconductivity and is inserted into the can 1. Therein the plate 3 serves as a guide to ensure that the electrode 2 is set in place in the can 1 easily and certainly, and the damage of electrode 2 caused by touch with the can 1 is precluded. The guide plate should be taken away after the electrode 2 is inserted.
