Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle battery pack included in a vehicle includes a battery module, vaporized gas release valves, a coupling duct, and a detection sensor. The battery module includes battery cells and partitions. The partitions are arranged between the battery cells in an arrangement direction of the battery cells, include a heat insulator, and are filled with a cooling solvent. The vaporized gas release valves operate by an increase in pressure associated with vaporization of the cooling solvent in the partitions and release a vaporized gas generated by the vaporization from the partitions. The coupling duct couples the vaporized gas release valves. The detection sensor detects a release of the vaporized gas through the vaporized gas release valves.
