Abstract:
A control module is arranged in alignment with a battery module in a longitudinal direction. The battery module includes battery cells that are aligned in the longitudinal direction and each have upper and lower end faces opposite to each other in a height direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The control module includes a busbar configured to electrically connect the battery module to an electrical load, a switch configured to switch electrical connection of the busbar with the electrical load between a connected state and a disconnected state, and a controller that controls the switch. In the height direction, the busbar is located closer to the upper end faces of the battery cells than to the lower end faces; the controller is located closer to the lower end faces of the battery cells than to the upper end faces; and the switch is located between the busbar and the controller.

Claim (Index 4):
The control module as set forth in  claim 3 , wherein the current sensor includes a magneto-electric transducer and a magnetic field suppressor, the magneto-electric transducer being configured to convert a magnetic field, which depends on the electric current flowing through the busbar and passes through the magneto-electric transducer along a plane perpendicular to the height direction, into an electrical signal, the magnetic field suppressor being configured to suppress external magnetic fields from passing through the magneto-electric transducer along the plane perpendicular to the height direction,\n the switch includes a pair of magnets provided to change the flow path of a discharge current that is generated in the switch when the electrical connection of the busbar with the electrical load is switched by the switch from the connected state to the disconnected state, the magnets are magnetized in a lateral direction, which is perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction and the height direction, and opposed to each other in the lateral direction, and the current sensor is arranged in alignment with the pair of magnets in the longitudinal direction.
