Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a battery block capable of reducing stress acting on a connection portion due to thermal expansion/contraction or size error. A battery block () according to the present invention includes: a plurality of conductive members () arranged along side surfaces () of a holding case () and electrically connecting corresponding battery cells (); voltage detection boards () disposed opposite the side surfaces () of the holding case () and detecting the voltage of the battery cells (); and a plurality of voltage detection terminals () respectively electrically connected to a plurality of conductive members () disposed on the voltage detection boards (). In the voltage detection terminals (), a securing portion () secured to the voltage detection boards () and a connection portion () connected to the conductive members () are disposed along an arranged direction, with a bend portion () which is elastically deformable in at least the arranged direction disposed between the securing portion () and the connection portion ().
