Abstract

A battery case includes a first cell accommodating portion that accommodates a first number of battery cells, and a second cell accommodating portion that accommodates a second number of battery cells, smaller than the first number. The second cell accommodating portion is shorter than the first cell accommodating portion in one of three directions parallel to sides of the battery case. The battery case further includes a board accommodating portion, which is adjacent to the second cell accommodating portion in the one of the three directions, and that accommodates a circuit board therein; a first partition wall arranged between the first cell accommodating portion and the board accommodating portion; and a second partition wall arranged between the second cell accommodating portion and the board accommodating portion. Thus, the thickness of the battery is reduced and the circuit board is separated from the battery cells.
