[0006] In the above technical solution, by arranging the second wall closer to the first wall than the third wall, the size of the electrical compartment along the second direction is smaller than the size of the battery compartment along the second direction, thereby reducing the space occupation of the electrical compartment. By arranging the electrical component connected to the second wall and accommodated in the accommodation space of the box, the box can have a smaller size along the second direction, thereby reducing the space occupation of the battery management system along the second direction, allowing a smaller distance between the second wall and the first wall, further reducing the space occupation of the electrical compartment and improving the space utilization of the battery device.

By setting the electrical component connected to the second wall and accommodated in the accommodation space of the box body, the box body can have a smaller size along the second direction, thereby reducing the space occupation of the battery management system along the second direction, so that a smaller distance can be provided between the second wall and the first wall, further reducing the space occupation of the electrical compartment, and improving the space utilization of the battery device. In addition, along the second direction, the side of the second wall away from the electrical compartment is closer to the region of the first wall than the third wall, which can form a redundant space, and other components can be installed in the redundant space to further reduce the space waste of the battery device and improve the space utilization of the battery device.

It can be understood that the surface of the second wall 12 away from the first wall 11 and the surface of the third wall 13 away from the first wall 11 are both part of the outer surface of the box 1.
[0091] The second wall 12 has a first outer surface 121 away from the first wall 11 along the second direction Z, and the first outer surface 121 is the surface of the second wall 12 farthest away from the first wall 11. Along the second direction Z, the distance between the first outer surface 121 and the first wall 11 is less than the minimum distance between the third wall 13 and the first wall 11, so that the second wall 12 is closer to the first wall 11 than the third wall 13.
