    摘要: Provided is a metal-air battery and a method of using the same that make it possible to simplify replacement work while also sustaining high output effectively. The metal-air battery of the present invention comprises a cell unit provided with a plurality of metal-air battery cells in parallel, each metal-air battery cell being configured to include a metal electrode, an air electrode disposed facing the metal electrode, and a housing that supports the metal electrode and the air electrode. The metal-air battery also comprises handles for example that act as a first replacing means enabling the replacement of the entire cell unit. With this arrangement, it is possible to simplify replacement work while also sustaining high output effectively.

    摘要: A metal-air battery is comprised by a metal-air battery unit having a plurality of juxtaposed metal-air battery cells with a small number of components and a simple structure for injection of the electrolytic solution into each cell. Each metal-air battery cell has an air electrode, a metal electrode arranged to face the air electrode, and a casing configured to support the air electrode and the metal electrode. Each casing includes an air chamber and a liquid chamber. Each air chamber has an upper part opened to the outside. The casing has a liquid feeding port communicating with the liquid chamber for admitting an electrolytic solution when the metal-air battery unit is lowered into a container of electrolytic solution.
