PURPOSE:To prevent the generated voltage from lowering and the battery from being overheated by dividing a manifold for supply of oxidating gas in the direction of the battery laminated height into a plurality of divisions, and connecting them to respective oxidating gas pipings. CONSTITUTION:In a laminated battery 17 according to existing invention, a manifold 14 for supply of oxidating gas is divided in the battery 17 laminating direction by partition plates 18a, 18b, and each division is connected with a piping 16. This enables adjustment of the pressure distributions of the oxidating gas in the upper and lower parts. This prevents oxygen shortage in the upper part of battery to be generated when the oxidating gas at the same pressure is supplied both to the upper and lower parts of this laminated battery 17 without adjustment of pressure distribution, also concentration of electrochemical reactions caused thereby in the neighborhood of the inlet to a cathode electrode, and burnout of the battery due to overheat and drop of the call voltage. |
