Patent number: 9536672Abstract: This invention provides a storage module formed using a plurality of storage cells. The each storage cell includes a storage unit that stores a charge, a polyhedral container that houses the storage unit and has two opposing surfaces, and a pair of electrode terminals that output and input the charge of the storage unit. The electrode terminals include a positive electrode terminal that projects externally from an end portion of the container and has a joint surface that is formed to be substantially coplanar with one of the two opposing surfaces of the container and joined to an electrode terminal of an adjacent storage cell, and a negative electrode terminal that projects externally from the end portion of the container and has a joint surface that is formed to be substantially coplanar with another of the two surfaces and joined to an electrode terminal of an adjacent storage cell.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2010Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: UD TRUCKS CORPORATIONInventors: Shigemi Kobayashi, Shuuichi Araki, Kazumasa Honda, Masami Takeda
