Abstract: A battery cooling structure is provided in which since a battery support member (43) that is disposed above a lower layer battery group (B4, B5) and supports an upper layer battery group (B6) on its upper face is formed so as to be hollow, and the upper layer battery group (B6) is cooled by a cooling medium that flows in an interior of the battery support member (43), due to the battery support member (43) having the dual function of supporting the upper layer battery group (B6) and cooling the upper layer battery group (B6), it is possible to cut the number of components and simplify the structure. Moreover, since the cooling medium flows in the interior of the battery support member (43) and does not come into direct contact with the upper layer battery group (B6), the upper layer battery group (B6) is not contaminated by the cooling medium.

Abstract: In a structure for mounting a battery pack on a vehicle, even if a battery case housing a plurality of batteries is disposed beneath a floor panel, due to an internal cable within the battery case being disposed above the batteries, it is possible to prevent the internal cable from becoming wet. Furthermore, if the internal cable disposed above the batteries were connected to an external cable via a high voltage connector without changing the height, the height of the floor panel would increase to thus constrain the vehicle compartment space, but since the high voltage connector is disposed at a position that is lower than the upper end of the battery, it is possible to decrease the height of the floor panel by disposing the external cable at a low position, thereby ensuring the vehicle compartment space.
