Abstract: Notch bottom parts 152a, 152b are arranged side-by-side with terminal accommodation boxes 100a, 100b in a circumferential direction of an insulator 134, and a routing direction of a pair of coil ends 44a inside the terminal accommodation boxes 100a, 100b is directed to a direction intersecting with an insertion direction of flat-type male terminals T1, T2. Accordingly, at the time of inserting the flat-type male terminals T1, T2 into the terminal accommodation boxes 100a, 100b, an unreasonable force is suppressed from being applied to the pair of coil ends 44a, and, as a result, a defect such as disconnection of the pair of coil ends 44a can be prevented from occurring. In addition, it is possible to orderly route the pair of coil ends 44a on the insulator 43 via the notch bottom parts 152a, 152b, and, as a result, a short circuit with another coil 44 can be prevented.

Abstract: A battery system includes a controller that performs a calculation to calculate an internal resistance of a battery, and executes a predetermined operation based on the result. The calculation includes obtaining a regression line through a regression analysis of a current-voltage plot obtained from voltage sensor and current sensor, and calculating the internal resistance from a slope of the regression line. The controller calculates a first internal resistance through the calculation based on a first group of detection values of the voltage and current detected a plurality of times, and calculate a second internal resistance through the calculation based on a second group of detection values. The controller executes the predetermined operation when a resistance difference between the first and second internal resistances is smaller than a reference value, and does not execute the operation when the resistance difference is larger than the reference value.
