Abstract

According to an embodiment, a battery module includes, for example, a plurality of battery cells, a first chassis, and a connection member. The battery cells are aligned in a first direction. The first chassis includes a plurality of first compartments in which the battery cells are housed one by one, and at least one second compartment that is partitioned in the first direction. The connection member includes a body that is housed in the second compartment; a pair of connection terminals that is mounted on a first face of the body and is electrically connectable to the electrodes of the battery cells via a conductive member, the first face facing in a second direction intersecting with the first direction; and a conductor that extends across the pair of connection terminals.
