Abstract

An energy storage apparatus includes: a main part; a conductive opposedly facing member disposed to opposedly face the main part; and an insulating member disposed between the main part and the opposedly facing member. The opposedly facing member includes an opposedly facing portion a part of which overlaps with the main part. The opposedly facing portion includes an end surface which overlaps with the main part, the end surface facing upwardly. The insulating member includes: a covering portion covering a surface of the opposedly facing portion directed toward a main part; and a seal portion extending from the covering portion toward the main part. The covering portion includes an end portion disposed at a position which agrees with the end surface or at a position outside the end surface in a direction orthogonal to the end surface. The seal portion extends from the end portion toward the main part.

Dependent claims

An energy storage apparatus, comprising:

a main part including at least one energy storage device;
a conductive opposedly facing member disposed so as to opposedly face the main part;
and
an insulating member disposed between the main part and the opposedly facing member,
wherein the opposedly facing member includes an opposedly facing portion where at least a part of the opposedly facing portion overlaps with the main part,
wherein the opposedly facing portion includes an end surface disposed at a position where the end surface overlaps with the main part, the end surface facing upwardly in a state where the energy storage apparatus is installed,
wherein the insulating member includes:
a covering portion covering at least a surface of the opposedly facing portion directed toward the main part;
and
a seal portion extending from the covering portion toward the main part so as to close a gap formed between the main part and the covering portion,
wherein the covering portion includes an end portion disposed at a position which agrees with the end surface of the opposedly facing portion or at a position outside the end surface in a direction orthogonal to the end surface, and
wherein the seal portion extends from the end portion of the covering portion toward the main part.
