Abstract
A battery cooling structure is provided in which since a battery support member () that is disposed above a lower layer battery group (B, B) and supports an upper layer battery group (B) on its upper face is formed so as to be hollow, and the upper layer battery group (B) is cooled by a cooling medium that flows in an interior of the battery support member (), due to the battery support member () having the dual function of supporting the upper layer battery group (B) and cooling the upper layer battery group (B), it is possible to cut the number of components and simplify the structure. Moreover, since the cooling medium flows in the interior of the battery support member () and does not come into direct contact with the upper layer battery group (B), the upper layer battery group (B) is not contaminated by the cooling medium.
