Abstract
A vehicle can have a battery unit which includes paired supporting shafts protruding in opposite directions. A battery side connector can be supported coaxially with the supporting shafts in a turnable manner. The direction in which the battery side connector is fitted and connected is the direction orthogonal to the supporting shafts. A battery holding block includes paired engaging recessed portions and a vehicle body side connector. The supporting shafts of the battery unit are inserted into the engaging recessed portions from a direction approximately orthogonal to the shaft. The battery side connector is fitted and connected to the vehicle body side connector. The battery unit is operated to turn around the supporting shaft to a position where the battery unit is fixed with the battery holding block.
