Abstract

An electric cell module is provided, which enables operations of connecting terminals in one direction and which is, as a whole, highly rigid and has excellent resistance to breakage. A pair of rod bodies 3A and 3B are arranged parallel to each other to be oriented in opposite polarities. Each rod body contains a plurality of electric cells 1 connected in series through cell connector portions 2. An electrical connecting structure 4 is formed on one end face of each rod body. The structure connects the rod bodies electrically to each other. A coupling jig 5 is incorporated to surround at least one juxtaposed pair of cell connector portions present at the same longitudinal position in the rod bodies.
