Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de batterie pourvu d'une pluralité de modules de batterie, chaque module contenant une pluralité d'éléments de batterie. Des bornes d'électrodes pour une pluralité d'éléments de batterie sont alignées sur la surface supérieure d'un bloc de batterie d'un module de batterie et un premier circuit destiné à détecter les états de la pluralité d'éléments de batterie est disposé sur une surface d'extrémité de ce bloc de batterie. Une pluralité de fils conducteurs connectant électriquement la pluralité de bornes d'électrodes d'éléments de batterie au premier circuit sur le module de batterie sont disposés le long de la surface supérieure de ce bloc de batterie. Un premier circuit destiné à détecter les états d'une pluralité d'éléments de batterie est disposé sur un autre module de batterie. La pluralité de modules de batterie sont agencés de sorte que le bloc de batterie du premier module de batterie soit situé entre le premier circuit sur le premier module de batterie et le premier circuit sur l'autre module de batterie. Dans cet état, un faisceau de fils est connecté entre les premiers circuits sur la pluralité de modules de batterie.
