Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a battery system in which operation of a module can be maintained even when part of a battery is broken by providing seal leak preventing agent to react with battery active material to generate stable reaction products, and a short-circuiting means for positive and negative electrode battery containers. CONSTITUTION:Seal leak preventing agent 9 such as lead chloride which is solid at an operation temperature is disposed on the outer side of an electric insulation seal part 6. When the seal part 6 is broken to leak Na and cover gas outside a battery container, the preventing agent 9 reacts with Na to generate sodium chloride, intermetallic compound of Na-Pb, etc., which are stable products. These close a broken part of the seal part 6, and the intermetallic compound short-circuits a positive electrode battery container 1 and a negative electrode battery container 2. When S leaks, lead sulfide, etc., are generated to close the broken part. In a battery module using this battery,therefore, the broken battery is short-circuited, thereby operation of the module can be continued.
