Abstract
A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell, auxiliary machinery, a tank, a storage amount detection unit that detects a measured value representing the amount of fuel gas stored in the tank, a secondary battery, a power accumulation amount detection unit that detects an amount of power accumulated in the secondary battery, a feed detection unit, and a control unit. The control unit stops the supply of the fuel gas to the fuel cell when the measured value is less than a threshold value, electrically disconnects the secondary battery from the auxiliary machinery when the amount of accumulated power is less than a lower limit amount of accumulated power, and electrically connects the secondary battery to the auxiliary machinery after the feeding of the fuel gas to the tank is detected.
