Abstract
A control module is arranged in alignment with a battery module in a longitudinal direction. The battery module includes battery cells that are aligned in the longitudinal direction and each have upper and lower end faces opposite to each other in a height direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The control module includes a busbar configured to electrically connect the battery module to an electrical load, a switch configured to switch electrical connection of the busbar with the electrical load between a connected state and a disconnected state, and a controller that controls the switch. In the height direction, the busbar is located closer to the upper end faces of the battery cells than to the lower end faces; the controller is located closer to the lower end faces of the battery cells than to the upper end faces; and the switch is located between the busbar and the controller.
