Provided is an energy storage apparatus which can be brought into a state where outputting of electricity from an overall terminal cannot be performed. The energy storage apparatus includes: a plurality of energy storage devices; an overall electrode to which electricity is supplied from the plurality of energy storage devices; an overall terminal which is electrically terminated from the overall electrode and is electrically connected to the overall electrode by a conductive member; a cover member which is removable and covers the overall electrode; and a cover which openably and closably covers the overall electrode covered by the cover member.

Energy storage apparatus

An energy storage apparatus includes: an energy storage device; an insulating adjoining member adjoining the energy storage device in a first direction; a conductive opposite member facing the energy storage device and the adjoining member in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; an insulating member disposed between the energy storage device and adjoining member and the opposite member; and a conductive fastening member disposed through the insulating member in the second direction to fasten the adjoining member to the opposite member. At least one of the adjoining member and the insulating member includes an opposite projection projecting toward an other of the adjoining member and the insulating member and facing a periphery of the fastening member, and the opposite projection is in contact with the other of the adjoining member and the insulating member.

An energy storage apparatus includes an energy storage device including a surface having a first end face from which an external terminal protrudes and a second end face on an opposite side from the first end face and a retaining member that includes paired end members disposed on opposite sides of the energy storage device in a second direction orthogonal to a first direction in which the external terminal protrudes and a coupling portion for coupling the paired end members. The coupling portion includes a main body portion facing the energy storage device in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction, a first extending portion extending along the first end face from the main body portion, and an end extending portion extending along the end member from the main body portion, a drain portion is provided to a position of the energy storage apparatus near the second end face, and the main body portion, the first extending portion, and the end extending portion are connected to each other to thereby form a first end corner portion of the coupling portion.

Energy storage apparatus, moving body, and energy storage system

According to an embodiment, an electric storage apparatus includes an electric storage device, an abutment arranged in alignment with the electric storage device, wherein the abutment includes at least three members stacked together, each of the members has a positioning part having a first surface forming a recess and a back surface of the first surface forming a projection, the positioning parts of the members are arranged at positions corresponding to one another, and adjacent members are relatively positioned by inserting a positioning part of one of the adjacent members into a positioning part of the other of the adjacent members.

Electric storage apparatus, and method for producing electric storage apparatus

An energy storage apparatus includes an energy storage device containing a case where a corner portion is formed by a first wall portion and a second wall portion, an opposedly facing member which opposedly faces the first wall portion, and an insulator covering at least a region of the opposedly facing member which opposedly faces the energy storage device. The opposedly facing member contains a body disposed along the first wall portion and an extension portion extending from the body along the second wall portion. The insulator contains a cover portion which extends to a distal end of the extension portion from a boundary position between the extension portion and the body along an opposedly facing surface of the extension portion which opposedly faces the second wall portion, is folded back at the distal end, and extends along an outer surface of the extension portion opposite to the second wall portion. A first inner surface of the cover portion which opposedly faces the opposedly facing surface of the extension portion includes a projecting portion which projects toward the opposedly facing surface.

A battery pack includes: energy storage devices arranged with a gap which is formed between the energy storage devices for passing a fluid; a case configured to accommodate the energy storage devices; a first duct disposed in an inside of the case and defining a supply flow passage through which the fluid is supplied to the gap; and a second duct disposed in the inside of the case and defining a discharge flow passage through which the fluid which has passed through the gap is discharged, wherein an auxiliary flow passage where the fluid flows along an outer surface of the first duct is formed, and the fluid is made to flow through the supply flow passage and the auxiliary flow passage at a same time.
