PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a risk of the occurrence of circuit substrate deformation, breakage, etc. in a circuit substrate support device.SOLUTION: A circuit substrate 4, having mounted protection circuit etc. of a battery 3, is disposed at a position adjacent to a plurality of batteries 3. Eight notches 41a-41h are formed on the end portions of the circuit substrate 4 in a shorter direction Y with intervals to a longer direction X. The notches 41a-41h are of substantially rectangular shapes and are formed with intervals on each end of the circuit substrate 4 in the shorter direction Y four by four. Four substrate holders 5 are members for supporting the circuit substrate 4, and are respectively disposed at positions corresponding to the notches 41a-41h of the circuit substrate 4, so as to support both ends of the circuit substrate 4 in the shorter direction Y in the states of engagement with the notches 41a-41h. The four substrate holders 5 are screw fixed to a cabinet body 2.
