Abstract: In each of battery modules, a processing circuit manages a battery unit connected to a power line. A communication circuit communicates data to be transmitted or received by the processing circuit. An isolated circuit insulates in a direct current between a first terminal of the communication circuit and a positive-electrode terminal or a negative-electrode terminal of the battery unit, and between a second terminal of the communication circuit and a conductive body to be a common potential of a plurality of the battery modules except for the power line.

Abstract: A plurality of controlling circuits control a plurality of respective shutdown switches to turn ON/OFF. A first signal system transmits, in a direction from one end of the plurality of controlling circuits to the other end of the plurality of controlling circuits, a significant signal during a normal operation and a non-significant signal when the operation needs to be stopped. The second signal system transmits, in a direction from the other end of the plurality of controlling circuits to the one end of the plurality of controlling circuits, a significant signal during the normal operation and a non-significant signal when the operation needs to be stopped. The other end of the plurality of controlling circuits transmits the non-significant signal through second signal system when a signal received through first signal system is the non-significant signal.
