For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-126571 (JP-B-7-82877), a sodium container is disposed in a cathode chamber inside a solid electrolyte tube. A hole for supply is provided and sodium as a cathode active material and an inert gas for extruding the sodium are sealed, and at the time of charging and discharging, the pressure in the anode chamber outside the solid electrolyte tube is increased by the solid electrolyte tube. There is disclosed an apparatus in which the pressure is always higher than the pressure in the gap with the sodium container. As a result, even if the solid electrolyte tube is damaged and sulfur in the anode chamber flows into the cathode chamber from the damaged part due to a pressure difference, this sulfur reacts with sodium in the cathode chamber to form sodium polysulfide, and the damaged part is damaged. Because of the plugging, the direct reaction between sodium and sulfur can be minimized.
