1. A method for inspecting a battery, the battery comprising:

  • an electrode laminate in which a positive electrode, a porous separator, and a negative electrode are laminated;

    a positive electrode terminal connected to the positive electrode;

    a negative electrode terminal connected to the negative electrode;

    a package including a metallic layer and a resin layer disposed on an inside of the metallic layer and in an inside of which the electrode laminate and an electrolyte solution are housed and sealed in a state in which one end of each of the positive electrode and the negative electrode is projected externally, the method comprising;

    a first withstanding voltage determination step of housing the electrode laminate within the package and applying a first voltage between the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal in a state in which the electrolyte solution is not poured in the package to perform a first withstanding voltage determination;

    a second withstanding voltage determination step of applying a second voltage which is higher than the first voltage between the positive electrode terminal or the negative electrode terminal and the metallic layer to perform a second withstanding voltage determination in the state in which the electrolyte solution is not poured in the package, wherein the electrode laminate is formed by an alternate lamination of a plurality of the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes and a plurality of the porous separators, the package comprises a pair of laminate films, each laminate film including the metallic layer and the resin layer, and is formed by joining mutual peripheral edge sections of the pair of laminate films in a state in which respective parts of the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal are projected externally, and wherein the battery is a lithium ion secondary battery and, at the second withstanding voltage determination step, a withstanding voltage measurement between the negative electrode terminal and the metallic layers of the pair of laminate films is made.
