Abstract
A battery device in which a large number of secondary batteries are efficiently housed and cemented strongly so that malfunctioning secondary batteries found after assembling can be exchanged and so that unusual heat evolution can be detected reliably. To this end, a pair of modular casing halves having battery housing half sections and a large number of terminal openings communicating with the battery housing half sections are coupled to each other to constitute a modular casing having a battery housing section A large number of secondary batteries are housed in the battery housing section so that both end terminals of the secondary batteries will be exposed to outside through the terminal openings. Each modular casing half is provided with bottomed adhesive charging openings in register with the respective terminal openings and adhesive efflux opening parts communicating with the terminal openings and with the adhesive charging openings. An adhesive charged through the adhesive charging openings is affixed to the outer periphery of the secondary batteries through the adhesive efflux opening parts to cement the ends of the secondary batteries to the terminal openings.
