Battery device loaded on moving body

Abstract

A battery device in which a large number of secondary batteries are efficiently housed and cemented strongly so that malfunctioning secondary batteries found after assembling can be exchanged and so that unusual heat evolution can be detected reliably. To this end, a pair of modular casing halves 43, 44 having battery housing half sections 49, 64 and a large number of terminal openings 46, 47 communicating with the battery housing half sections are coupled to each other to constitute a modular casing 13 having a battery housing section 45. A large number of secondary batteries 12 are housed in the battery housing section so that both end terminals of the secondary batteries will be exposed to outside through the terminal openings. Each modular casing half is provided with bottomed adhesive charging openings 72 in register with the respective terminal openings and adhesive efflux opening parts 78 communicating with the terminal openings and with the adhesive charging openings. An adhesive 76 charged through the adhesive charging openings is affixed to the outer periphery of the secondary batteries through the adhesive efflux opening parts to cement the ends of the secondary batteries to the terminal openings.
