Abstract: A battery unit is provided which includes a storage case, a battery, a control board, and a pressing mechanism. The battery is disposed in the storage case and pressed by the pressing mechanism against the bottom of the storage case. The control board has mounted thereon electronic components to control charging or discharging of the battery and is located above the battery within the storage case. The pressing mechanism is disposed next to the control board without any physical interference with each other. Such a layout of the pressing mechanism and the control board permits the battery unit to be reduced in size thereof.

Abstract: A battery device includes a battery pack, a circuit substrate which acquires battery information on the battery pack or controls charge and discharge of the battery pack, a switch including a first power element or a second power element, and a heat radiator. The switch is a device controlling input and output of electric power to and from the battery pack, and an exterior part of the switch is arranged away from the circuit substrate. The heat radiator is a member made of a material having thermal conductivity, and is in direct contact with or indirect contact via a heat conductor with the exterior part of the switch so that heat of the switch can be transferred.

Abstract: A battery unit is provided which includes a battery made of a stack of a plurality of cells each of which is equipped with electrode tabs serving as a positive terminal and a negative terminal. The electrode tabs are broken down into first electrode tabs and second electrode tabs. The first electrode tabs are the electrode tabs of every adjacent two of the cells which are joined together through a weld. The second electrode tabs are the electrode tabs of the cells each of which is joined to a bus bar through a weld without being connected to any of the electrode tabs. The first and second electrode tabs each have a bent portion which lies between a body of the cell and the weld and works as a vibration absorber to ensure the stability in forming the weld during a welding operation.

Abstract: A battery unit is provided which includes a battery made of a stack of a plurality of cells each of which is equipped with electrode tabs serving as a positive terminal and a negative terminal. The electrode tabs each have a bent portion which lies between a body of the cell and a joint of the electrode tab to a bus bar. The bent portion is so geometrically shaped as to function as a stress absorber to minimize a mechanical stress which arises from oscillation of or thermal shock on the battery.

Abstract: A battery unit is provided which includes a battery and a storage case in which the battery is mounted. The storage case is made up of a base, a cover, and an intermediate case. The cover is jointed to the base with an interspace therebetween. The intermediate case is disposed between the cover and the base and has a peripheral wall which occupies the interspace. The intermediate case is lower in stiffness than the cover and the base, thereby realizing a lightweight structure of the storage case without sacrificing the mechanical strength thereof.
