Claim:
1. A metal-air battery comprising: first and second electrolytic tanks for storing an electrolytic solution; a metallic electrode to serve as an anode, the metallic electrode provided in the first electrolytic tank; and an air electrode to serve as a cathode, wherein the metallic electrode is formed of a metal which becomes a metallic ion or composes a metallic compound in the electrolytic solution with progress of a battery reaction, the first and second electrolytic tanks are communicated with each other for allowing the electrolytic solution in the first electrolytic tank to move into the second electrolytic tank, the metallic ion or the metallic compound in the electrolytic solution is precipitated as a metallic compound precipitate in the second electrolytic tank, and the metal-air battery further includes a deliquoring mechanism that separates the electrolytic solution from the metallic compound precipitate including the electrolytic solution to form a deliquored product of the metallic compound.
