8. The all solid state battery according to claim 1 , wherein
the current collection portion is Cu, and
the elastic portion is any one of a silicon rubber, a fluoro-rubber, an epichlorohydrin rubber, an acrylic rubber, an ethylene-acrylic rubber, a urethane rubber, a nitrile rubber, a hydrogenated nitrile rubber, a chloroprene rubber, an ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, an ethylene rubber, a propylene rubber, a butyl rubber, a butadiene rubber, a styrene-butadiene rubber, a natural rubber and an isoprene rubber.

9. The all solid state battery according to claim 8 , wherein the elastic portion is the silicone rubber.

10. The all solid state battery according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic portion does not have electron conductivity.

11. An all solid state battery system comprising:
the all solid state battery according to claim 1 , and
a controlling unit controlling charge and discharge of the all solid state battery.

12. The all solid state battery system according to claim 11 , wherein the controlling unit controls a thickness increase, due to charge, of an anode active material layer to be 5 μm or more and 50 μm or less.

13. The all solid state battery system according to claim 11 , wherein, when an elastic modulus of the anode current collector is A [N/mm 2 ] and a thickness increase, due to charge, of an anode active material layer is B [mm], a value of A×B is 200 N/mm or less.
