Abstract: In a liquid leakage propagation restraining structure, a voltage detection terminal that detects the voltage of an electricity storage device is connected to an electrode of the electricity storage device so that a crimp contact surface side of the voltage detection terminal to which an electric cable is crimped faces in the direction opposite the direction to the electrode. Therefore, the structure restrains the electrolytic solution that has leaked out and propagated to the electric cable from entering the interior of the core wire of the electric cable.
