<p>The invention is directed to a liquid container and a method for detecting a remaining quantity of liquid that can precisely detect that the liquid is completely consumed. A bag shaped main pack 11 for storing liquid to be supplied to a liquid consuming device 5 and a bag shaped sensor pack 12 in which the liquid to be supplied to the liquid consuming device 5 from the main pack 11 is temporarily held halfway to detect the state of a remaining quantity of the liquid in the main pack 11 are provided. Thus, since the quantity of the liquid held in the sensor pack 12 changes in accordance with the remaining quantity of the liquid of the main pack 11, the changed state appears as a change of the form of the sensor pack 12, and accordingly, a displacement due to the change can be utilized to assuredly detect, for instance, that the liquid in the main pack 11 is completely consumed.
