PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance output density of a fuel cell and starting characteristics of a fuel cell system, in the fuel cell system using the fuel cell as a power supply for a portable electronic apparatus and the like. SOLUTION: This fuel cell system 10 is provided with an electronic apparatus body 20 equipped with heat generating parts 22, 24, a power supply part 30 equipped with a fuel cell 32 to supply electric power to the electronic apparatus body 20, and a heat transfer means 40 to supply heat generated in the heat generating parts 22, 24 to the fuel cell 32 or its peripheral area. Preferably, the heat transfer means 40 partially heats the air electrode of the fuel cell 32. If the fuel cell 32 is a direct methanol type fuel cell, the heat transfer means 40 preferably supplies heat to a fuel storage container 34 to store the fuel supplied to the fuel cell 32. In addition, the fuel cell system 10 is preferably provided with an auxiliary heating means to heat the fuel cell 32 when starting it. |
