Description of the Related Art A sodium-sulfur battery is, for example, a high-temperature battery used for nighttime power storage, and usually employs a structure in which a plurality of cells are connected in an insulated container to form a collective battery. In this type of sodium-sulfur battery, when an overcurrent such as an accidental short-circuit current flows, the solid electrolyte tube inside the unit cell is destroyed, so that the molten metal sodium separated from the inside and outside by the solid electrolyte tube melts. Sulfur may come into direct contact and mix with each other to cause a chemical reaction.
