Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and a non-aqueous electrolyte. The positive electrode includes a positive electrode active material and an expanded metal. The expanded metal includes a frame portion constituting meshes. The frame portion includes strands and bonds connecting the strands to one another. The frame portion includes strands and bonds connecting the strands to one another. Each group of plural strands out of the strands surround an aperture of a corresponding one of the meshes. The number of the plural strands surrounding the aperture is four or more. At least one of the plural strands surrounding the aperture has a bent shape or a curved line shape.
