Original Abstract Submitted
A protector to be attached to a group of power storage elements that include electrode terminals includes a body portion and cover portions. The body portion includes openings that open in different directions and have opening edges. The cover portions extend from the opening edges of the openings and cover at least portions of the openings. Each of the cover portions includes a base portion, strip portions, and slits. The base portion is connected to the body portion via a hinge portion to be rotatable with respect to the body portion. The strip portions extend from the base portion and are elastically deformable to open a portion of a corresponding one of the openings. The slits are between the strip portions.
