A battery pack () includes: paired supporting members (); a battery module () disposed between the supporting members (); and a stack member () supporting the battery module () by linking the supporting members to each other. An extending portion () protruding from the battery module () is formed by extending an end portion of the stack member (). Accessories () are attached to a side surface on a side where the extending portion () of the stack member () is disposed, the side surface being one of side surfaces of the battery pack which are provided with the paired supporting members ().

Battery pack

A battery pack () includes: multiple battery modules () stacked in a vertical direction with a predetermined gap (G) provided between the battery modules () and with a predetermined gap (G) between the battery modules (); and a battery controller () attached to sides of the battery modules () in such a manner as to face the predetermined gap (G).

A catalytic combustor is configured to accelerate the combustion processing of anode off gas in the combustor to reduce the amount of unburned hydrogen discharged to the outside of the combustor. Anode off gas and cathode off gas discharged from the fuel cell are fed into the catalytic combustor and combusted with a catalyst. Ventilation air is supplied from inside of the fuel cell is also supplied to the catalytic combustor. A portion of the catalytic combustor located upstream of the catalyst inside is divided into an upper flow path and a lower flow path by a partitioning plate and a gas flow passage is provided upstream of the upper and lower flow paths. The cathode off gas is supplied to the gas flow passage.

Catalytic combustor

A fuel cell system includes a combustor and a water tank and a drain collector. The combustor has an exhaust line and a combustor drain. The water tank has a water-tank drain. The drain collector collects drainage from the drains into the exhaust line.
