Abstract
Provided is an energy storage apparatus which can be brought into a state where outputting of electricity from an overall terminal cannot be performed. The energy storage apparatus includes: a plurality of energy storage devices; an overall electrode to which electricity is supplied from the plurality of energy storage devices; an overall terminal which is electrically terminated from the overall electrode and is electrically connected to the overall electrode by a conductive member; a cover member which is removable and covers the overall electrode; and a cover which openably and closably covers the overall electrode covered by the cover member.
Claims20
An energy storage apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of energy storage devices stacked in a first direction;
- a pair of terminal members disposed on opposing sides of the plurality of energy storage devices, in the first direction, the plurality of energy storage devices being disposed between the pair of terminal members;
- an overall electrode to which electricity is supplied from the plurality of energy storage devices;
- an overall terminal which is electrically terminated from the overall electrode and is electrically connected to the overall electrode by a conductive member;
