In an electrolytic solution supply type battery of an arrangement wherein an electrolytic solution is distributed and supplied to each of a plurality of electrically series-connected or stacked unit cells from a common supply path through distribution liquid paths, respectively, and the electrolytic solution is exhausted from each of the plurality of unit cells and collected in a common exhaust path through exhaust liquid paths, respectively, each distribution liquid path at an electrolytic solution supply side and/or each exhaust liquid path has midway therealong a liquid flow interrupt portion utilizing natural fall of the electrolytic solution. At the portion, the electrolytic solution is rendered discontinuous during falling and is formed into droplets, thereby preventing liquid short-circuit between each two adjacent unit cells.
