Abstract
A battery replacement apparatus includes a detection device that detects position and orientation of a battery (first battery), a battery mount where a battery (second battery) is placed, the battery mount being capable of being raised, and an adjuster that adjusts position and orientation of the battery that is placed on the battery mount. The battery mount allows the battery to be attached to a vehicle body from below the vehicle body, by being raised below the vehicle body in a state where the battery is placed on the battery mount. The adjuster adjusts the position and the orientation of the battery placed on the battery mount, based on the position and the orientation of the battery detected by the detection device.
