(JP2001057196-A)   NOVELTY - A number of prismatic battery modules (2), each having a positive electrode connecting terminal (5) and a negative electrode connecting terminal (6) arranged at opposite ends, are arranged in a row such that the electrode connecting terminals (5, 6) are directed alternately in opposite directions, to constitute a battery pack (1). A first and a second connection modules (7,8) disposed at either end of the battery pack for connecting the battery modules (2) in series are constituted by mutually linking, in a relatively displaceable manner, module connectors (12, 20) that comprise metal connection elements integrally held in a resin frame.    USE - E.g. for use in electric vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - Fixing of connection modules can be performed easily without compromising sealing performance of connecting terminals, even if there are variations in position of connecting terminals of battery modules. There is no risk of short-circuiting in event of collisions even though battery pack is mounted in metallic body of vehicle.
