Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is an in-vehicle switching device including a switching circuit; a first conduction path through which a current is allowed to flow in the series connection state and a current does not flow in the parallel connection state; a second conduction path through which a current is allowed to flow in the parallel connection state and a current does not flow in the series connection state; a third conduction path that forms a path between a negative electrode of a first battery and a positive electrode of a second battery in the series connection state, and forms a path between both positive electrodes or between both negative electrodes of the first battery and the second battery in the parallel connection state; and a fuse portion that is provided in the first conduction path and performs an operation of interrupting the first conduction path based on an external signal.
