Abstract
A cell module structure in which cylindrical cells are connected to each other via a terminal connecting portion of a bus bar plate. An inner cell terminal and an outer cell terminal having different polarities are coaxially aligned at an end of the cell. An inner connecting terminal and an outer connecting terminal corresponding to the inner cell terminal and the outer cell terminal of the cell are coaxially aligned in the terminal connecting portion of the bus bar plate. The inner cell terminal and the outer cell terminal of the cell are connected to the terminal connecting portion of the bus bar plate in a connected condition in which the outer cell terminal of the cell contacts the outer connecting terminal of the terminal connecting portion, and the inner cell terminal contacts the inner connecting terminal.
