A battery storage device includes a battery case (), a case side connection terminal (), a lid member (), a lock mechanism (), and an operation member (). The lock mechanism () is capable of fixing a battery (A orB) stored in the battery case () to the battery case () below the lid member (). The operation member () is constituted such that at least a part thereof overlaps an inserting/removing port () on an upper side in a view in an insertion direction of the battery (A orB) in a state at a lock operation position.

Battery storage device of vehicle

A saddled electric vehicle () having a battery () that is attachable to and detachable from the vehicle () includes a vehicle electronic lock () which enables the vehicle () to be locked and unlocked, a lock control unit () which controls the vehicle electronic lock (), and a sub battery () which supplies electric power to the lock control unit (), in which the lock control unit () enables the vehicle to be unlocked in a state in which the battery () is removed from the vehicle ().

Saddled electric vehicle

Various battery arrangement structures are presented for a saddle-riding type vehicle. An arrangement can be configured to protect a battery from external impact, and can include a pair of left and right rear frames disposed at the rear section of the vehicle with a battery disposed between the pair of left and right rear frames. The pair of left and right rear frames include a pair of left and right first rear frames and a pair of left and right second rear frames. A power unit-supporting portion which swingably supports a power unit is provided at rear portions of the pair of left and right rear extension portions, and the battery is disposed between the pair of left and right second rear frames and above the power unit-supporting portion.

Battery arrangement structure and saddle-riding type vehicle

A device includes a battery case () that stores a battery (A orB), a lock mechanism () that is capable of fixing and holding the stored battery (A orB) in the battery case (), and an operation member () that is capable of performing switching operation of the lock mechanism () between a battery-fixed state and a non-battery-fixed state. The lock mechanism () includes a movable block () which is supported by the battery case () in a displaceable manner. The movable block () has a battery restriction portion (or) which restricts displacement of the battery (A orB) in a separation direction in a state of being displaced to a battery fixing position, and a holding force receiving portion () which receives a holding force for maintaining the movable block () at the battery fixing position from the operation member () in a state where the operation member () is operated within a predetermined positional range.

A saddle-type electric vehicle (A, orB) includes an electric motor () for vehicle traveling, a battery () which supplies electric power to the electric motor (), a power control unit () which controls the electric motor (), step floors () on which a rider places his/her feet, a center tunnel (CT) which extends in a vehicle front-rear direction at a left-right center portion of the step floors (), and a charger () mounted on the vehicle body and configured to charge the battery (), in which the power control unit () is disposed inside the center tunnel (CT), and the charger () is disposed to overlap the power control unit () in a plan view.
