The present invention provides a fuel cell system that has a fuel cell portion including one or more unit cells, a fuel tank for storing fuel used in the unit cells, and a control portion for controlling the fuel cell portion. The number of unit cells is optimized so that a total amount of energy, which is outputted from the fuel cell system as a function of the number of unit cells or of an electrode area, shows a maximum value or a nearly maximum value. Thus, the amount of energy may be maximized or made to be equal to or more than a predetermined value. Accordingly, target devices to be supplied with power from the fuel cell system may be used for a longer time.

A battery remaining capacity calculating method, a battery remaining capacity calculating device, and a battery remaining capacity calculating program that make it possible to estimate the remaining capacity of a secondary battery with high accuracy using a relatively simple circuit configuration are provided. An output voltage value of the secondary battery is measured, a use mode of the secondary battery is divided into a high consumption mode in which the output voltage value is not lower than a threshold value and a low consumption mode in which the output voltage value is lower than the threshold value, a remaining capacity in the low consumption mode is calculated on a basis of a predetermined reference voltage curve as a discharge characteristic of the secondary battery and the output voltage value, and a remaining capacity in the high, consumption mode is calculated supposing that there is little change in the remaining capacity at a time of change from the low consumption mode to the high consumption mode. In the high consumption mode, the remaining capacity may be calculated on a basis of a reference remaining capacity as a remaining capacity before the use mode change, a start voltage as an output voltage at a time of a start of the high consumption mode, a predetermined cutoff voltage of the secondary battery, and the output voltage value.

A battery calculating method, apparatus, and program are provided. The battery capacity calculating method and apparatus can very accurately calculate a residual capacity of a secondary battery especially in the last stage of discharging independently of environmental conditions such as a temperature or a deteriorated state. the battery capacity calculating apparatus is equipped with a voltage measuring circuit which measures the terminal voltage (Vmea) of a battery at the time of discharging, a current measuring circuit which measures the current value (I) of the battery at the time of discharging, and a control circuit which calculates a residual capacity and/or residual power. The operation unit in the control circuit calculates a discharged capacity (Qmea) and an apparent discharged capacity (Qocv) based on a terminal voltage (Vmea) and a current value (I) measured by the voltage measuring circuit and the current measuring circuit, respectively, estimates a discharge curve (Cpre) in the future including the last stage of discharging based on a capacity shift (ΔQ) being the difference between the discharged capacity (Qmea) and the apparent discharged capacity (Qocv) during discharging, and calculates the residual capacity and/or the residual power of the battery based on the estimated discharge curve (Cpre).
