Some embodiments provide a secondary battery manufacturing equipment and secondary batteries manufactured using the same, in which tension of a separator may be maintained constant without compensating for the tension (e.g., with a separate device). When manufacturing an electrode assembly by stacking separators in a zigzag manner, the velocity of a driving roller and a final roller may be synchronized, so that the tension of the separator may be maintained constant without a separate separator tension compensation device. By controlling the design parameters of the secondary battery manufacturing equipment, the residual amount of the separators and the instantaneously required supply amount may be minimized and kept constant even if the size of the electrode assembly varies. Accordingly, there is no need for a separate tension compensation device or length compensation device to control the tension of the separator, thereby simplifying equipment and improving cell alignment precision during high-velocity stacking.
