wherein the glass paper sheet is compressed between the energy storage devices,
wherein the glass paper sheet has a porosity of 70% or more and 97% or less, and
wherein the glass paper sheet has a porosity of 45% or more and 80% or less under a pressure of 20 N/cm 2 applied to an energy storage device of the plurality of energy storage devices.

2. The energy storage module according to claim 1 , wherein:
the case has a short side surface and a long side surface which is orthogonal to the short side surface and has an area larger than that of the short side surface; and
the glass paper sheet is brought into contact with at least the long side surface.

3. The energy storage module according to claim 2 , wherein the glass paper sheet covers the case over the short side surface and the long side surface.

4. The energy storage module according to claim 1 , wherein the glass paper sheet has an average thickness of 0.2 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less.

5. The energy storage module according to claim 1 , wherein the glass paper sheet has a porosity of 70% or more and 95% or less.

6. The energy storage module according to claim 1 , wherein the glass paper sheet is formed by glass fibers with the average diameter of 0.2 μm or more and 1.5 μm or less.

7. An energy storage module comprising:
a plurality of energy storage devices each including a case;
a glass paper sheet provided between energy storage devices of the plurality of energy storage devices, brought into contact with the case, and mainly composed of a glass fiber; and
a holding member holding the plurality of energy storage devices and the glass paper sheet,
wherein the glass paper sheet is compressed between the energy storage devices,
wherein the glass paper sheet has a porosity of 70% or more and 97% or less, further comprising a resin film brought into contact with the glass paper sheet, and
wherein the glass paper sheet has a porosity of 45% or more and 80% or less under a pressure of 20 N/cm 2 applied to an energy storage device of the plurality of energy storage devices.

8. The energy storage module according to claim 7 , wherein the resin film includes polypropylene, polyphenylene sulfide, or polyethylene terephthalate.

9. The energy storage module according to claim 7 , wherein an average thickness of the resin film is 10 μm or more.

10. The energy storage module according to claim 7 , wherein the glass paper sheet has a porosity of 80% or more and 95% or less.

11. The energy storage module according to claim 7 , wherein the glass paper sheet is formed by glass fibers with the average diameter of 0.2 μm or more and 1.5 μm or less.

12. An energy storage device comprising:
a case; and
a glass paper sheet brought into contact with the case and mainly composed of a glass fiber,
wherein the glass paper sheet has a porosity of 70% or more and 97% or less, and
wherein the glass paper sheet has a porosity of 45% or more and 80% or less under a pressure of 20 N/cm 2 applied to an energy storage device of a plurality of energy storage devices.

13. The energy storage device according to claim 12 , wherein the glass paper sheet has a porosity of 80% or more and 95% or less.

14. The energy storage device according to claim 12 , wherein the glass paper sheet is formed by glass fibers with the average diameter of 0.2 μm or more and 1.5 μm or less.
