A battery unit, a bottomed case, a plate-shaped cooling plate, and first heat transfer material are included. The cooling plate is fastened to a bottom part of the case from the outside of the case, and can cool the battery unit via the bottom part of the case. The first heat transfer material have a plastic property and are held between the bottom part of the case and the cooling plate. The bottom part of the case has heat transfer material housings that house excess first heat transfer material therein when the cooling plate has been fastened to the case.

Assembled battery

A temperature adjustment device includes a cooling member and a connecting member. The cooling member consists of a first plate and a second plate. The first plate is thermally abutted against a heat-generating member. The second plate is stacked on a lower surface of the first plate to define a cooling space with the first plate, the cooling space a cooling medium flows through, and being configured to include an inlet and an outlet of the cooling medium on a bottom surface facing against the first plate. The connecting member is the connecting member to a temperature adjustment circuit, and that is configured with a tube member having a flat part. The connecting member includes a connecting port connected to the inlet or the outlet on the flat part, and that is laminated and arranged on the second plate such that the flat part is abutted against the second plate.
