PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrolyte and a cell using it capable of improving a low temperature characteristic while maintaining a stable gel state. SOLUTION: In a cell element 20, a positive electrode 21 and a negative electrode 22 are laminated with the electrolyte 23 in between. The electrolyte 23 is a gel electrolyte with an electrolytic solution dispersed or held in a support. The support contains a copolymer as a principal component containing polyvinylidene fluoride as a monomer unit. The electrolytic solution contains a glycol derivative such as ethylene glycol ethyl ether acetate. Since the ethylene glycol derivative is highly compatible with a copolymer containing vinylidene fluoride and it can improve ionic conductivity in low temperature, it can lower impedance in low temperature while maintaining a stable gel state.
