Original Abstract Submitted

A battery module includes: a duct; and an attachment-target member to which the duct is attached. The attachment-target member has a first wall portion and the duct has a second wall portion. The first wall portion is provided with a claw portion. The second wall portion is provided with a groove portion. The groove portion includes a first segment portion and a second segment portion, the first segment portion extending in the Y axis direction, the claw portion being disposed in the first segment portion, the first segment portion anchoring the claw portion in the Z axis direction, the second segment portion extending in a direction intersecting the Y axis direction, the second segment portion being connected to the first segment portion, the second segment portion allowing the claw portion to enter the first segment portion when attaching the duct to the attachment-target member.
