Abstract: A battery module includes: a plurality of batteries stacked together; and a busbar that electrically connects the plurality of batteries with each other. The busbar has: a main body that extends along axis X along which the batteries are stacked together; and a plurality of connectors that protrude from the main body along an axis that intersects with the axis along which the batteries are stacked together, and are electrically connected with terminals of the batteries, respectively. The plurality of batteries are divided into a plurality of battery units. Each of the plurality of battery units includes at least two of the plurality of batteries. The busbar connects the at least two of the plurality of batteries of each of the battery units with each other in parallel. The busbar connects the battery units with each other in series.
