A battery apparatus may include: one or more battery cells; one or more fire-extinguishing agents, which include(s) a component that provides a negative-catalyst effect with respect to combustion; and a casing, which houses the battery cell(s) and the fire-extinguishing agent(s). In the event that one or more of the battery cell(s) has (have) been subject to inappropriate handling and consequently has (have) ignited, the fire can be rapidly extinguished by the negative-catalyst effect of the fire-extinguishing agent(s). In addition, if one or more of the battery cell(s) of the battery apparatus has (have) ignited, because the fire can be rapidly extinguished, spreading of the fire to other battery cells, the casing, etc. can be inhibited.

Provided is a power supply device in which the reliability of a voltage output is improved, and also provided is a system comprising the power supply device and an electric tool. The power supply device (1) is provided with: a secondary battery cell (2a); an output unit connected to an electric tool and supplying the power of the secondary battery cell (2a) to the electric tool; and switching elements (Q1), (Q2) capable of interrupting a current path from the secondary battery cell (2a) to the electric tool.

The present invention discloses a fire extinguishing sheet which is used in places, facilities, devices, tools, structures and the like where a fire may break out, and which makes initial fire extinguishing possible. This fire extinguishing sheet contains at least a potassium compound as a fire extinguishing chemical that is thermally decomposed upon reaching a predetermined temperature and generates a fire extinguishing component; and this fire extinguishing sheet is arranged in places, facilities, devices, tools, structures and the like where a fire may break out. If a fire breaks out, aerosols containing potassium radicals (a potassium compound) are generated from the fire extinguishing sheet, and the chain of combustion is interrupted by a negative catalytic effect, thereby quickly extinguishing or suppressing the fire.
