Abstract
A power supply apparatusincludes: a battery cell assemblyincluding battery cellshaving a positive terminalat one end and a negative terminalat the other end; a busbar moduleattached to the assemblyand configured to connect the cellsin series with each other; and a pair of electric wiresconnected to electrodestaking out a voltage of the series-connected cells. The busbar moduleincludes: bus barsconfigured to connect the positive terminaland the negative terminalof the mutually adjacent battery cellsof the assembly; a platedisposed on the assemblywith the bus barsattached thereto; and an electric wire holding portionprovided on the plateconfigured to hold one electric wireof the pair of the electric wires. The electric wire holding portionextends in the arrangement direction X in which the cellsare arranged at a central portion of the platein the width direction Z orthogonal to the direction X of the battery cells
