2. Description of the Related Art A sodium-sulfur battery, which is a kind of molten salt battery, uses molten sodium as a negative electrode active material and molten sulfur and sodium polysulfide as a positive electrode active material.
Since this battery is operated at 250 ° C. to 350 ° C., there is a possibility that the molten salt at a high temperature may leak. For this reason, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, the unit cells 2 are housed in a cylindrical insulating container 1 having a bottom. The insulating container 1 includes a bottomed aluminum tube 3, an insulating disk 4 fixed to the outer bottom surface of the aluminum tube 3, and insulating sheets 5 and 6 covering the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the aluminum tube 3. The cell 2 is mounted on the inner bottom surface of the aluminum tube 3 via a disk spacer 7 and a ring spacer 8 made of stainless steel.
The molten salt leaked from the unit cell 2 is stored in a space between the aluminum tube 3 and the disk spacer 7.
