According to one embodiment, a nonaqueous electrolyte battery including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, a copper-containing member, and a nonaqueous electrolyte is provided. The negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material-containing layer. The negative electrode current collector includes aluminum or aluminum alloy. The negative electrode active material-containing layer is formed on the negative electrode current collector. The copper-containing member includes copper or copper alloy. The copper-containing member is electrically connected to the negative electrode current collector to prevent from over-discharge.
