A method of manufacturing a rechargeable battery with a curved surface is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes winding a plurality of electrodes and a separator together so as to form an electrode assembly, wherein the electrode assembly has first and second sides and two lateral ends connected to each other by the first and second sides, and wherein the first side is longer than the second side. The method also includes pressing the electrode assembly so as to bend the electrode assembly, electrically connecting the electrode assembly to a plurality of terminals, and accommodating the electrode assembly within a case.
