- the heat transfer plate 25 contacts the bottom surface 120 of the lower housing 110 at the lower end surface thereof, and contacts the upper surface 140 of the upper housing 111 at the upper end surface. Since the upper casing 111 is pressed against the lower casing 110 by the fastener 165, the position of the heat transfer plate 25 is firmly fixed in the casing.
- the screws 163 play a role of temporarily fixing the power storage module 30 to the lower housing 110 in the middle of the assembly of the power storage device. In the fixing with only the screws 163, it is difficult to ensure sufficient reliability against intense vibration. In particular, when mounted on a work machine such as an excavator, high reliability is required for vibration and impact.

Note that gaskets may be inserted between the flat plate 160 and the bottom surface 120 and between the flat plate 161 and the top surface 140 in order to prevent leakage of the cooling medium from the flow paths 50 and 162.
- the electricity storage cell 20 is thermally coupled to the cooling medium flowing through the flow paths 50 and 162 via the heat transfer plate 25. Due to the force pressing the upper casing 111 against the lower casing 110, the end surface of the heat transfer plate 25 is in close contact with the bottom surface 120 and the top surface 140. Thereby, the thermal resistance of the contact portion between the heat transfer plate 25 and the bottom surface 120 and the contact portion between the heat transfer plate 25 and the upper surface 140 can be reduced (heat transfer efficiency is increased).
- FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view taken along one-dot chain line 7-7 in FIG.

- the heat transfer rubber sheet 167 is disposed between the bottom surface 120 and the heat transfer plate 25 and between the upper surface 140 and the heat transfer plate 25.
- the heat transfer rubber sheet 167 is elastically deformed. Thereby, the heat transfer efficiency between the heat transfer plate 25 and the bottom surface 120 and between the heat transfer plate 25 and the upper surface 140 can be increased.
- FIG. 9A shows a cross-sectional view of the power storage device according to the second embodiment.

That is, when the cooling medium flows from the introduction path 52a into the expansion path 53a, the flow rate of the cooling medium is the fastest near the center in the width direction of the expansion path 53a and is slower as it approaches the side wall. Further, the flow rate of the cooling medium near the center in the width direction of the expansion path 53a gradually decreases as it flows downstream.
- the flow velocity of the cooling medium that collides with the upstream end of the central wall 58c is relatively high as the upstream end of the central wall 58c is arranged on the upstream side.
