A power supply unit comprises a solid electrolyte battery constituted by
using a solid electrolyte alone and a liquid electrolyte battery
constituted by using an electrolytic solution connected in parallel to
each other. Since the solid electrolyte battery is primarily utilized at
high temperature and the liquid electrolyte battery is primarily utilized
at low temperature, a power supply unit can achieve durability
characteristics at high temperature equivalent to those of a power supply
unit constituted of solid batteries alone and output characteristics at
low temperatures equivalent to those of liquid electrolyte batteries
alone, is provided.
