An air conditioner for a vehicle has a housing. The housing defines an air passage therein, includes a suction port, and houses a blower fan. The blower fan draws an air from the suction port and discharges the air into the air passage. The housing includes a facing portion that faces an inlet defining member including an air inlet. The facing portion includes the suction port. The facing portion has a rib that protrudes from the facing portion toward the inlet defining member. The facing portion and the rib define at least a part of an air guiding passage that guides the air from the air inlet to the suction port.

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.

In response to confirmation request from an onboard terminal in a state where updated data after start of a temporary road change is available, a map update server distributes the updated data and instructs the onboard terminal to temporarily use the updated data. In response to the confirmation request in a state where the updated data after end of a temporary road change is available, the server instructs the onboard terminal to use the updated data from before the start of the temporary road change. In response to being instructed to temporarily use the updated data, the terminal uses the updated data that has been distributed. In response to being instructed to use the updated data from before the start of a temporary road change, the terminal temporarily uses the updated data by using map data from before the start of the temporary road change instead of the updated data.

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.

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.

A battery unit is provided which includes a control board, a storage case, a water detector, and an electrical conductor. The storage case is made of an assembly of a first and a second casing member. The first casing member has an upright wall which extends from the bottom thereof and surrounds the battery. The second casing member also has an extension which extends toward the bottom of the first casing member. The water detector is located close to the lower end of the extension of the second casing member. The electric conductor extends upward from the upper end of the extension and are electrically joined to the water detector. The electric conductor is also mechanically and electrically joined to the control board. This structure facilitates the ease with which the water detector is installed electrically and mechanically in the battery unit.

A temperature sensor including a sensor part and a biasing member that is capable of pressing the sensor part. Here, the biasing member includes a pressing part, a biasing part, and a part to be held. The part to be held includes a locking piece that is elastically deformable in an intersecting direction intersecting with the pressing direction, and hooks that are locked by the holding member in a state where movement of the hooks to the other side in the pressing direction is regulated. The biasing member includes a regulating part that regulates movement of the locking piece in the intersecting direction and prevents release of locking between the hooks and the holding member.
