Abstract
Each of a plurality of units includes a plurality of battery cells and a supporting member. The plurality of battery cells are arranged side by side in the first direction and each of the plurality of battery cells has a prismatic shape. The supporting member supports the plurality of battery cells. Each of the plurality of battery cells has a housing having an upper surface on which an electrode terminal is disposed and a lower surface facing the upper surface along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. When each of the plurality of units is placed on the first plane, the supporting member is capable of supporting the plurality of battery cells such that the second direction is substantially parallel to a normal direction of the first plane and the electrode terminal is oriented in a direction away from the first plane.
