Abstract
A battery module includes: a stacked body that includes a plurality of battery cells; a restraint including a metal band that extends from one end of the stacked body to the other end of the stacked body and that is electrically grounded; a voltage sensor configured to detect a voltage of the portion of battery cells; a first wire that is connected to the voltage sensor and extends in a stacking direction; a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the stacked body or a current sensor configured to measure a current that flows into and out of the stacked body; and a second wire that is connected to the temperature or current sensor, and extends in the stacking direction. A voltage lower than that of the first wire is applied to the second wire, and the metal band is arranged between the first wire and the second wire.
