Provided are a liquid activated air battery and an assembled liquid activated air battery, which can be reduced in size, as well as a method of using the liquid activated air battery and the assembled liquid activated air battery. The liquid activated air battery includes: an electrode assembly comprising a cathode and an anode; and a space that serves as a liquid container to store a liquid component of an electrolyte of the air battery before injection and also serves as a gas flowing member through which oxygen-containing gas of an active material of the air battery flows after injection. The assembled liquid activated air battery includes a plurality of the liquid activated air battery. The method of using the liquid activated air battery or the assembled liquid activated air battery includes the steps of: supplying the electrode assembly with the liquid component of the electrolyte of the air battery from the liquid container to store the liquid component before injection; and thereafter supplying the liquid container with the oxygen-containing gas when an amount of the liquid component in the liquid container reaches a predetermined level, wherein the liquid container also serves as the gas flowing member through which the oxygen-containing gas of the active material of the air battery flows.
