PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To uniformly cool a plurality of storage cells in order to extend the life of a storage module, and to reduce the weight of a cooling mechanism of the storage cell in order to reduce the weight of the storage module. SOLUTION: In the storage module, at least four plate-like storage cells are stacked. A heat exchange plate is arranged at least at three points between two adjoining storage cells. A heat exchange plate, which expands to the outside beyond the edge of the storage cell and is arranged on an outermost side along the stacking direction, is thinner than the heat exchange plate arranged inside. A presser mechanism applies a compression force in the stacking direction on the laminate of the storage cell and heat exchanger plate. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
