Description of the Related Art A conventional fuel cell transport case is for a fuel cell of 1 kW to 10 kW class with an electrode area of 900 cm 2 to 3,600 cm 2 , and is used to prevent cracking of an electrolyte plate or the like. Tighten the cell stack with tightening bolts and dehumidify by placing silica gel around the stack to prevent deterioration of the electrolyte due to moisture absorption of the electrolyte, cover the entire fuel cell with a sheet, pack it in a wooden box, truck at room temperature etc. It was something to load.

な影響を引き起こす原因となることが考えられる。However, in the above-mentioned method, when the electrode area increases, it becomes difficult to obtain a sufficient tightening pressure with the tightening bolt, and in the electrolyte plate having a large area, it is necessary to install silica gel around the inner surface of the electrolyte plate. It is difficult to sufficiently dehumidify up to this point, and further, there is a problem that dehumidification with silica gel has a limit when it is transported for a long time. It is considered that these problems cause a great influence on the battery performance after transportation.
