Original Abstract Submitted
A battery pack is mounted on a vehicle. The battery pack has a battery module including battery cells laminated in a first direction of a horizontal direction, and a load-bearing member extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction of the horizontal direction, and a battery case accommodating the battery module. The battery case includes a base plate, a frame member joined to an outer edge of the base plate and forming an outer frame of the battery case, a first fixing portion provided on the frame member at a position overlapped with the load-bearing member when viewed from the second direction and fixing a first part of the battery module to the frame member, and a second fixing portion provided on the frame member at a position different from the overlapped position and fixing a second part of the battery module to the frame member.
