Abstract: An electric power source containing a plurality of batteries stacked in two or more tiers in a battery case, which is provided with an intermediary duct between a first sub holder case and a second sub holder case. A first outer duct is located outside the first sub holder case and a second outer duct is located outside the second sub holder case. The power source is so designed that cooling air is blown to the intermediary duct, the holder case and the outer duct, thus cooling the batteries in the holder case. Further, the power source has a partition disposed inside the intermediary duct, with a first intermediary sub duct being connected to the first sub holder case and a second intermediary duct being connected to the second sub holder case.

Abstract: A resinous composition for coating use comprising a resin obtained by the reaction of base resin having as essential groups, both carboxyl groups derived from a polycarboxylic acid whose titration midpoint potential in non-aqueous potentiometric titration is more than -300 mV in a state capable of developing a resinous acid value and a functional group reactive with a crosslinking agent, and an alkyleneimine compound in an amount equivalent to resinous acid value of 0.01 to 50, the resinous acid value based on said polycarboxylic acid in the final composition being 2 to 50.This is useful for the preparation of a coating composition having improved curing property, storage stability and time color stability.
