Abstract
An electricity storage device (1) which is provided with an electricity storage element (40) and an outer case (10). This electricity storage device (1) is also provided with: a measurement substrate (81) which is connected to the electricity storage element (40), and through which a first electric current passes; and a main circuit substrate (82) through which a second electric current that is larger than the first electric current passes. The main circuit substrate (82) is arranged so as to face a part of a container (410) of the electricity storage element (40), said part being different from a long lateral surface (411) of the container (410).
Claims19
An energy storage apparatus comprising:
- an energy storage device;
- a holding member which holds the energy storage device;
- an outer case;
- a first circuit board which is connected to the energy storage device and through which a first current flows;
- and
- a second circuit board through which a second current larger than the first current flows,
- wherein:
- the second circuit board is disposed such that the second circuit board opposedly faces a position which differs from a long side surface of a container of the energy storage device,
- the outer case includes a second restricting portion which restricts a movement of the holding member in a direction along a wall surface of the outer case on the wall surface of the outer case,
- the holding member is smaller than the outer case and is disposed in an offset manner with respect to the outer case,
- an L-shaped space is formed between the holding member and the outer case, and
- the second restricting portion is a convex portion projecting from the wall surface.
An energy storage apparatus comprising:
- an energy storage device;
- an outer case comprising a second restricting portion and a wall surface;
- a first circuit board which is connected to the energy storage device and through which a first current flows;
- a second circuit board through which a second current larger than the first current flows;
- and
- a holding member which holds the energy storage device,
- wherein:
