Abstract
A battery module includes: a plurality of battery cells stacked in a predetermined direction and electrically connected together; a plurality of bus bars that electrically connect the plurality of battery cells together; and a plurality of voltage detection wires each connected to one set of two or more battery cells electrically connected together. According to the battery module, the number of the voltage detection wires is reduced, thereby attaining reduced sizes of the bus bars, productivity improved by improved workability, and reduced cost.
