Abstract
A power supply system is provided having a fuel cell and a power storage source comprising at least one of a secondary battery and a capacitor, the power supply system being secured to or mounted, in use thereof, on an electronic equipment, wherein: the fuel cell has a maximum output power which is higher than the average power consumption of and lower than the maximum power consumption of the electronic equipment; and the power storage source can output at least a power corresponding to the maximum power consumption of the electronic equipment. The power supply system can start the operation of electronic equipment having a high load even at the time of starting such operation, irrespective of the ambient temperature; can operate the electronic equipment for a long time by simply refilling the fuel supply; and can be low in cost, small in size and high in reliability and output energy density.
