Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cell connection assembly includes a first unit holding one side in a connection direction of a long connection member, and a second unit holding the other side in the connection direction of the long connection member. The first unit and the second unit are configured to be slidable and movable with respect to the long connection member in the connection direction of the long connection member. Even when there is a dimensional error between a plurality of electric cells and the cell connection assembly attached thereto, positions of the first unit and the second unit relative to each other can be changed with the long connection member in response to the dimensional error.
