Battery module

A power supply connector is provided, which is applicable to both large current charging and low current charging, the power supply connector being able to not only maintain the accuracy of monitoring low current charging and the volumetric efficiency of a board by appropriately arranging two types of connector parts, but also contribute to the downsizing of the power supply connector and improvement of the reliability thereof by striking a balance between the volumetric efficiency and the heat radiation characteristics, and ensure safety in the use of the power supply connector while reducing the cost. Insertion holesand connector pinsthat configure a large current charging connector part are disposed in the vicinity of both ends of the power supply connector. There are disposed a plug insertion holeand low current charging connector pinsthat configure a low current charging connector part held between the insertion holesand the connector pins
