Abstract
A pair of end plates is a pair of members provided at both ends of a battery cell assembly in an array direction to clamp the battery cell assembly from both sides in the array direction. The pair of end plates has a plate upper surface and a recess. The plate upper surface is positioned on the same side as that of an electrode mounting surface. The recess is recessed from the plate upper surface and accommodates at least part of a coupling connector. With this configuration, a battery module and a battery monitoring unit mounting structure can prevent the battery module from increasing in size.
