Abstract
A plurality of prismatic battery modules, each having a positive electrode connecting terminal and a negative electrode connecting terminal are arranged at opposite ends thereof, in a row such that the positive and negative electrode connecting terminals are directed alternately in opposite directions, thereby constituting a battery pack. A first and a second connection modules disposed at either end of the battery pack for connecting the battery modules in series are constituted by mutually linking, in a relatively displaceable manner, module connectors that comprise metal connection elements integrally held in a resin frame.
