  • Publication number: 20240178527
    Abstract: A busbar module that can be brought into a folded state and a busbar module attachment method. The busbar module includes a case configured to be installed on the battery assembly, a plurality of busbars supported by the case and configured to be respectively connected to single cells, and a routing material electrically connected to the busbars and routed in the case. The case includes a plurality of divided cases that are divided in a direction in which the single cells are arranged, and a connection structure connecting adjacent divided cases of the divided cases with each other. The connection structure displaces the divided cases into a folded state in which the divided cases are rotated so that adjacent divided cases overlap each other and an expanded state in which the divided cases are situated on a same plane.
