Fuel cell stack

A fuel cell stack including a stack body formed by stacking a plurality of unit cells together in a horizontal direction and end plates provided at both ends of the stack body in a stacking direction, the unit cells each being formed by stacking an electrolyte electrode assembly and separators, the electrolyte electrode assembly including an electrolyte and electrodes provided respectively on both sides of the electrolyte, a fluid passage being formed in the stack body for allowing at least a fuel gas, an oxygen-containing gas, or a coolant to flow through the fluid passage in the stacking direction,

• wherein a manifold member connected to the fluid passage is fixed to at least one of the end plates using tightening members;
• and
• a recess is formed at a lower end of the end plate to provide a pair of mount sections integrally with the lower end, the mount sections protruding downward of the fluid passage from both sides of the recess in the lower end.
