Abstract: A vehicle is positively charged with static electricity due to an external factor. The vehicle includes a battery, a static eliminator sheet, and a holding member. The battery includes at least one cell, an electrolyte, a resin case, and negative and positive terminals. The resin case accommodates the components and electrolyte of each cell. The negative terminal is grounded to the vehicle body. The positive terminal is supplied with electric power from a charger.
