Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a battery holder and a movable fixture. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a fixture having an installation section on which a portable power storage device can be installed. The fixture disclosed in Patent Document 1 is provided with casters, for example, and is formed to be easily movable on a floor surface. In Patent Document 1, the portable power storage device is detachable from the fixture. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2022-29419 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When a storage battery such as a portable power storage device is placed on the movable fixture disclosed in Patent Document 1, the storage battery vibrates and tilts as the movable fixture moves. If such vibration or tilt is large, there is a possibility that the storage battery will fall off the movable fixture.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and has an object to prevent a storage battery from falling off even when the storage battery is moved. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention employs the following configuration as a means for solving the above problems.

[0007] A first aspect of the present invention is a holder for a storage battery comprising a mounting portion on which the storage battery is placed, and a protective member erected from the mounting portion and preventing the storage battery placed on the mounting portion from tipping over, wherein the protective member is formed in an annular shape capable of horizontally surrounding a lower part of the storage battery placed on the mounting portion with an upper surface of the mounting portion open facing upward, and has an opening that penetrates the horizontal direction and can expose a portion of the lower part of the storage battery in the horizontal direction.

[0008] The first aspect of the present invention includes a protective member erected from the mounting portion. When the storage battery placed on the mounting portion tries to tilt, the protective member abuts against the storage battery. By the protective member abutting in this manner, the storage battery is prevented from tilting. Furthermore, the protective member has an opening that exposes a part of the lower portion of the storage battery in the horizontal direction. Therefore, for example, a cable can be connected to a cable connection port provided at the lower portion of the storage battery while the storage battery is placed on the mounting portion. Therefore, in the first aspect of the present invention, the placed storage battery can be charged and discharged. According to such a first aspect of the present invention, the storage battery is prevented from falling over. Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, for example, even if a storage battery holder is attached to a movable fixture and the storage battery is placed on the storage battery holder, it is possible to prevent the storage battery from falling off the movable fixture. In other words, according to the present invention, even if the storage battery is moved in a placed state, the storage battery can be prevented from falling off.

[0009] In the first aspect of the present invention, the entire lower surface of the mounting portion can be made to be a contact surface with the mounting surface of the storage battery holder. This makes it possible to ensure a wide contact area between the storage battery holder and the mounting surface. Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the storage battery holder can be prevented from moving relative to the mounting surface, and even if the storage battery holder is moved with the storage battery mounted thereon, it is possible to prevent the storage battery from falling off.

[0010] Furthermore, in the first aspect of the present invention, since the storage battery is placed on such a mounting portion, the weight of the storage battery acts on the mounting portion, and the frictional force between the mounting portion and the mounting surface of the storage battery holder can be increased. Therefore, the storage battery holder can be prevented from moving relative to the mounting surface, and even if the storage battery is moved with the storage battery placed thereon, the storage battery can be prevented from falling off.

[0011] A second aspect of the present invention is based on the first aspect and adopts a configuration in which the outer edge of the mounting portion has a plurality of straight portions and a plurality of corner portions formed by connecting two straight portions, and the protective member is connected to at least the corner portions of the outer edge.

[0012] When the outer edge of the mounting portion has corners, the corners protrude from other parts, making it easy for the storage battery to come into contact with external objects above the corners. In a second aspect of the present invention, a protective member is provided so as to be connected to the corners of such a mounting portion. Since the protective member stands upright from the mounting portion, it is possible to prevent external objects from coming into contact with the storage battery above the corners of the mounting portion.

[0013] A third aspect of the present invention employs a configuration in which, in the first or second aspect, the opening is formed up to an upper edge of the protective member and is open upward.

[0014] According to the third aspect of the present invention, the opening is open upward, so that the storage battery can be placed on or removed from the placement portion with the cable still connected to the cable connection port of the storage battery.

[0015] A fourth aspect of the present invention employs a configuration in which, in any one of the first to third aspects, the protective member has a plurality of openings in the circumferential direction.

[0016] In a fourth aspect of the present invention, the protective member has a plurality of openings. According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, by facing the cable connection port of the storage battery placed on the mounting section to any of the openings, the cable can be connected to the cable connection port while the storage battery is placed on the mounting section. Therefore, it becomes possible to select from a plurality of orientations of the cable connection port when the storage battery is placed on the mounting section. Therefore, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the degree of freedom of the orientation of the storage battery when placed on the mounting section is improved.

[0017] A fifth aspect of the present invention employs a configuration in which, in any one of the first to fourth aspects, a magnet is attached to the lower surface of the placement portion.

[0018] According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, for example, when the mounting surface of the storage battery holder is formed of a magnetic material, the storage battery holder can be fixed to the mounting surface by the magnetic force of a magnet. Therefore, according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the storage battery holder can be prevented from moving relative to the mounting surface, and even if the storage battery holder is moved with the storage battery placed thereon, it is possible to more reliably prevent the storage battery from falling off.

[0019] A sixth aspect of the present invention is a movable fixture that is installed so as to be movable relative to a floor surface, and is configured to include a fixture main body that is placed on the floor surface, and a battery holder of any of the first to fifth aspects fixed to the fixture main body.

[0020] The movable fixture according to the sixth aspect of the present invention includes the above-mentioned battery holder. Therefore, according to the movable fixture according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the battery from falling off the movable fixture.

[0021] A seventh aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration according to the sixth aspect, further comprising a plurality of the battery holders arranged adjacent to each other, and the protective member has an opening that opens in a different direction from the other battery holders.

[0022] In a seventh aspect of the present invention, a plurality of battery holders are arranged. Each protective member of the battery holders has an opening that faces a different direction from the other battery holders. Therefore, when a cable is inserted into a battery placed on the placement section, the cable can be prevented from interfering with the other battery holders or the battery placed on the battery holder.

[0023] An eighth aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in which, in the sixth or seventh aspect, the configuration includes a power device that handles electric power, and a conductive part that provides electrical conductivity between the power device and the storage battery placed on the storage battery holder.

[0024] According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, the power device provided on the movable fixture and the storage battery placed on the storage battery holder can be electrically connected by the conductive part, which makes it possible to feed power from the storage battery to the power device and from the power device to the storage battery, for example. Effect of the Invention

[0025] According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the storage battery from falling off the movable fixture. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0027] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a storage battery holder and a movable fixture according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0028] (Battery holder) 1 is a front view showing a schematic configuration of a storage battery holder 1 with a storage battery X placed thereon. As shown in this figure, a storage battery X is placed on the storage battery holder 1. The storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment prevents the storage battery X placed in this manner from tilting over.

[0029] The storage battery X is a secondary battery unit formed to a size that allows a user to carry it by hand, for example. In this embodiment, the storage battery X includes a rectangular parallelepiped main body X1 and a handle X2 connected to an upper portion of the main body X1, and is formed so that the user can easily hold it. However, the shape of the storage battery X is not limited.

[0030] In this embodiment, the main body X1 of the storage battery X is formed to have a rectangular shape when viewed from above. FIG. 2 is a schematic three-view diagram of the storage battery X, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a top view, and (c) is a side view. As shown in these figures, the main body X1 of the storage battery X is formed to have a rectangular shape with four curved corners C when viewed from above. In other words, the outer edge of the storage battery X when viewed from above is formed to have a shape having four straight line parts L connected in a ring shape and four corner parts C formed by connecting two straight line parts L. Note that the straight line parts L are not completely straight lines, but are slightly curved straight line parts.

[0031] The main body X1 of the storage battery X has four side walls X3. A cable connection port X4 is provided at the bottom of one of the four side walls X3. In this embodiment, two cable connection ports X4 are provided in a horizontal arrangement at the bottom of one side wall X3.

[0032] For example, one cable connection port X4 is a connection port for connecting a charging cable for charging the storage battery X. Also, for example, the other cable connection port X4 is a connection port for connecting a cable for supplying power from the storage battery X to another device. In this way, the storage battery X of this embodiment is provided with two cable connection ports X4 at the bottom. Note that only one cable connection port X4 may be provided for the storage battery X, or three or more may be provided. Also, each cable connection port X4 may be capable of connecting both a charging cable and a power supply cable, or may be capable of connecting only one of them.

[0033] 3 is a three-view diagram of the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a top view, and (c) is a side view. As shown in these drawings, the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment has a mounting portion 2, a protective member 3, and a magnetic sheet 4 (magnet). In this embodiment, the mounting portion 2 and the protective member 3 are integrally formed from the same material (e.g., a metal material or a resin material).

[0034] The mounting portion 2 is a plate-like portion forming the bottom of the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment, and the storage battery X is directly placed on it from above. Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the mounting portion 2. As shown in this figure, the mounting portion 2 is formed to have a rectangular shape when viewed from below (above). The shape of the mounting portion 2 is formed to be slightly larger than the shape of the main body portion X1 of the storage battery X when viewed from above.

[0035] The outer edge of the mounting portion 2 is formed into a rectangular shape with four curved corners 2a, as shown in Fig. 4. That is, the outer edge of the mounting portion 2 viewed from above is formed into a shape having four linear portions 2b connected in a ring shape and four corners 2a each formed by connecting two linear portions 2b.

[0036] The upper surface of the mounting portion 2 is the surface that comes into contact with the bottom surface of the storage battery X mounted on the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment. For example, the upper surface of the mounting portion 2 may be formed with a recess that matches the shape of the bottom surface of the storage battery X. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the lower surface of the mounting portion 2 is the attachment surface for the magnetic sheet 4. Note that, in cases where the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment does not include the magnetic sheet 4, the lower surface of the mounting portion 2 in this embodiment becomes the surface that comes into contact with the mounting surface M (see FIG. 1) of the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment.

[0037] The protective member 3 stands on the mounting portion 2 and is a portion that prevents the storage battery X placed on the mounting portion 2 from tilting. In this embodiment, the protective member 3 is connected to the entire outer edge of the mounting portion 2 and is formed so that its shape when viewed from above is the same frame shape as the outer edge of the mounting portion 2. That is, in this embodiment, the protective member 3 is connected to at least the corners 2a of the outer edge. Note that the protective member 3 may be connected to a portion that is more inward than the outer edge of the mounting portion 2.

[0038] Such a protective member 3 is formed in an annular shape that can surround the lower part of the storage battery X placed on the mounting part 2 from the horizontal direction with the upper surface of the mounting part 2 open upward. The protective member 3 also has a plurality of openings 3a. These openings 3a are provided so as to be located above each straight portion 2b of the mounting part 2. In this embodiment, the mounting part 2 has four straight portions 2b. Therefore, the protective member 3 has four openings 3a.

[0039] Each opening 3a is provided penetrating the protective member 3 in the horizontal direction. Each opening 3a can expose a part of the lower part of the storage battery X in the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the storage battery X is placed on the mounting part 2 in a position in which each side wall part X3 faces the straight part 2b of the mounting part 2 when viewed from above. At this time, each opening 3a is formed so that two cable connection ports X4 provided on the lower part of the storage battery X are exposed at any one of the openings 3a.

[0040] Each opening 3a is formed up to the upper edge 3b of the protective member 3 and opens upward. That is, each opening 3a is formed in a notched shape so as to open upward. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, the connection portion between each opening 3a and the upper edge 3b of the protective member 3 is formed to be curved overall, and has a shape that does not have a bent portion.

[0041] The height H of the protective member 3 and the clearance D between the protective member 3 and the storage battery X are set so as to easily prevent the storage battery X from tipping over. Specifically, when the storage battery X is about to tip over, it will tip around a part of its bottom surface. At this time, the storage battery X will abut against the upper edge 3b of the protective member 3 to prevent the battery X from tipping over. However, if the height of the protective member 3 is low, the bottom surface of the storage battery X may slide on the upper surface of the placement part 2 after the storage battery X abuts against the upper edge 3b of the protective member 3, and the storage battery X may tip over. For this reason, the clearance D between the protective member 3 and the storage battery X is set so that the part opposite to the part where the upper edge 3b abuts against the storage battery X can abut against the storage battery X from the horizontal direction before the storage battery X tips over. Specifically, in this embodiment, the protective member 3 is formed at a height such that the upper edge 3b is located above the cable connection port X4 of the storage battery X.

[0042] Even if the height H of the protective member 3 is reduced, the storage battery X can be prevented from falling over by reducing the clearance D between the protective member 3 and the storage battery X. In other words, the height of the protective member 3 can be reduced by reducing the clearance D between the protective member 3 and the storage battery X. For example, by reducing the height of the protective member 3, it is possible to make the storage battery holder 1 less noticeable.

[0043] The magnetic sheet 4 is a magnet formed into a sheet shape, and is attached to the lower surface of the mounting portion 2 as shown in Fig. 1. When the mounting surface M is made of a magnetic material, the magnetic sheet 4 is attracted to the mounting surface M by magnetic force, and fixes the storage battery holder 1 to the mounting surface M. For example, the magnetic sheet 4 is adhered to the lower surface of the mounting portion 2 by an adhesive.

[0044] 5 is a bottom view of the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment. As shown in this figure, a plurality of magnet sheets 4 are attached to the bottom surface of the mounting portion 2. These magnet sheets 4 are arranged, for example, symmetrically about the center of the mounting portion 2. By arranging a plurality of magnet sheets 4 in this manner, the position of the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment on the mounting surface M can be stabilized.

[0045] In this embodiment, a sheet-shaped magnet (magnetic sheet 4) is used, but the shape of the magnet is not particularly limited. For example, a block-shaped magnet or a bar-shaped magnet can also be used.

[0046] In the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment, the storage battery X is lowered from above into the space surrounded by the protective member 3, and the storage battery X is placed on the placement portion 2. At this time, the storage battery X is placed on the placement portion 2 so that the cable connection port X4 provided on the lower part of the storage battery X is exposed at one of the openings 3a.

[0047] In this manner, even if the mounting surface M is part of a moving body and the moving body moves, the storage battery X mounted on the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment is prevented from falling over by the storage battery holder 1. Furthermore, a cable can be connected to the cable connection port X4 exposed at the opening 3a while the storage battery X is mounted on the storage battery holder 1.

[0048] The storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment as described above includes a mounting portion 2 and a protective member 3. The storage battery X is mounted on the mounting portion 2. The protective member 3 stands upright from the mounting portion 2 and prevents the storage battery X mounted on the mounting portion 2 from tilting. The protective member 3 is formed in an annular shape that can surround the lower part of the storage battery X mounted on the mounting portion 2 from the horizontal direction with the upper surface of the mounting portion 2 open upward. The protective member 3 also has an opening 3a that penetrates the mounting portion 2 in the horizontal direction and can expose a part of the lower part of the storage battery X in the horizontal direction.

[0049] The battery holder 1 of this embodiment includes a protective member 3 standing upright from the mounting portion 2. When the battery X mounted on the mounting portion 2 is about to tilt, the protective member 3 comes into contact with the battery X. The battery X is prevented from tilting by the protective member 3 coming into contact with the battery X. Furthermore, the protective member 3 has an opening 3a that exposes a part of the lower portion of the battery X in the horizontal direction. Therefore, for example, a cable can be connected to the cable connection port X4 provided on the lower portion of the battery X while the battery X is mounted on the mounting portion 2. Therefore, the battery holder 1 of this embodiment allows the battery X to be charged and discharged. The battery holder 1 of this embodiment prevents the battery X from falling over. Therefore, even when the battery X is moved while being mounted, the battery X can be prevented from falling off.

[0050] Furthermore, the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment can have the entire lower surface of the mounting portion 2 as a contact surface with the mounting surface M of the storage battery holder 1. This makes it possible to ensure a wide contact area between the storage battery holder 1 and the mounting surface M. Therefore, the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment can prevent the storage battery holder 1 from moving relative to the mounting surface M, and even if the storage battery holder 1 is moved with the storage battery X placed thereon, the storage battery X can fall out.

[0051] Furthermore, in the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment, the storage battery X is placed on such a mounting portion 2, so that the weight of the storage battery X acts on the mounting portion 2, and the frictional force between the mounting portion 2 and the mounting surface M of the storage battery holder 1 can be increased. Therefore, the storage battery holder 1 can be prevented from moving relative to the mounting surface M, and even if the storage battery holder 1 is moved with the storage battery X placed thereon, it is possible to prevent the storage battery X from falling off.

[0052] In the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment, the outer edge of the mounting portion 2 has a plurality of straight portions 2b and a plurality of corners 2a formed by connecting two straight portions 2b. The protective member 3 is connected to at least the corners 2a of the outer edge of the mounting portion 2.

[0053] When the outer edge of the mounting portion 2 has a corner 2a, the corner 2a protrudes from other parts, and the storage battery X is likely to come into contact with an external object above the corner 2a. In the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment, a protective member 3 is provided so as to be connected to the corner 2a of the mounting portion 2. The protective member 3 stands upright from the mounting portion 2. This makes it possible to prevent the storage battery X from coming into contact with an external object above the corner 2a of the mounting portion 2.

[0054] In addition, the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment has an opening 3a that is formed up to the upper edge 3b of the protective member 3 and opens upward. With the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment, the opening 3a opens upward. Therefore, the storage battery X can be placed on or removed from the placement portion 2 with the cable connected to the cable connection port X4 of the storage battery X.

[0055] Moreover, in the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment, the protective member 3 has a plurality of openings 3a. According to the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment, by facing the cable connection port X4 of the storage battery X placed on the mounting portion 2 to any of the openings 3a, it is possible to connect a cable to the cable connection port X4 while the storage battery X is placed on the mounting portion 2. Therefore, it is possible to select from a plurality of orientations of the cable connection port X4 when the storage battery X is placed on the mounting portion 2. Therefore, according to the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment, the degree of freedom of the orientation of the storage battery X when placed on the mounting portion 2 is improved.

[0056] The storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment also includes a magnetic sheet 4 attached to the underside of the mounting portion 2. With this storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment, for example when the mounting surface M of the storage battery holder 1 is formed of a magnetic material, the storage battery holder 1 can be fixed to the mounting surface M by the magnetic force of the magnetic sheet 4. Therefore, with the storage battery holder 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the storage battery holder 1 from moving relative to the mounting surface M, and even when the storage battery holder 1 is moved with the storage battery X placed thereon, it is possible to more reliably prevent the storage battery X from falling off.

[0057] (Mobile fixtures) Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of the movable fixture 10. As shown in this figure, the movable fixture 10 includes a battery holder 1, a fixture main body 11, casters 12, a solar power generation unit 13 (power device), and a charging unit 14. The fixture main body 11 has a shape in which two shelf board portions 11a and a vertical board portion 11b that connects the two shelf board portions 11a to each other in the vertical direction are integrated together. The number of shelf board portions 11a can be changed.

[0058] The upper shelf portion 11a is a plate-shaped portion on which the solar power generation unit 13 is provided. The lower shelf portion 11a is a plate-shaped portion on which a plurality of storage battery holders 1 are installed. A plurality of (four in this embodiment) storage battery holders 1 are provided on the lower shelf portion 11a. These four storage battery holders 1 are arranged adjacent to each other along the longitudinal direction of the shelf portion 11a, which has a rectangular shape in a plan view. Note that the movable fixture 10 may be provided with only one storage battery holder 1.

[0059] In this manner, in each of the storage battery holders 1 arranged adjacent to the shelf portion 11a, the protective member 3 has an opening 3a that faces in a different direction from the other storage battery holders 1. In other words, each storage battery holder 1 has an opening 3a that does not face the other storage battery holders 1.

[0060] The vertical plate portion 11b connects the ends of the three shelf plate portions 11a that are arranged so as to overlap when viewed from the top-bottom direction. In this embodiment, two vertical plate portions 11b are provided. One vertical plate portion 11b connects one end of the three vertical plate portions 11b in the longitudinal direction. The other vertical plate portion 11b connects the other end of the three vertical plate portions 11b in the longitudinal direction. In addition, a handle portion 11e that a user holds when moving the movable fixture 10 is provided on the outer surface of each vertical plate portion 11b. Such a handle portion 11e does not have to be provided.

[0061] The casters 12 are connected to the underside of the fixture main body 11 and support the fixture main body 11 from below. The casters 12 are capable of rolling on the floor and allow the fixture main body 11 to move smoothly along the floor surface. Such casters 12 are arranged at the four corners of the fixture main body 11 in a plan view. The number and arrangement of the casters 12 can be changed as desired within a range in which the fixture main body 11 can be stably supported.

[0062] The solar power generation unit 13 is provided on the upper surface of the upper shelf board portion 11a. The solar power generation unit 13 is a solar panel that converts sunlight into electricity. Such a solar power generation unit 13 is an electric power device that handles electric power.

[0063] The charging unit 14 is a unit for charging the storage battery X placed on the storage battery holder 1 with the power generated by the solar power generation unit 13. Such a charging unit 14 includes a power converter that transforms the power generated by the solar power generation unit 13, a cable for supplying the converted power to the storage battery X, and the like. Note that the power converter is installed on the underside of the shelf portion 11a, but may be installed in another location, for example, inside the shelf portion 11a, on the side of the vertical plate portion 11b, or the like.

[0064] The movable fixture 10 of this embodiment is installed so as to be movable relative to the floor surface Y. The movable fixture 10 further comprises a fixture main body 11 that is placed directly on the floor surface Y, and a storage battery holder 1 fixed to the fixture main body 11. The movable fixture 10 of this embodiment is equipped with the above-mentioned storage battery holder 1. Therefore, the movable fixture 10 of this embodiment makes it possible to prevent the storage battery X from falling off the movable fixture.

[0065] Moreover, the movable fixture 10 of this embodiment includes a plurality of adjacently arranged storage battery holders 1. The protective member 3 has an opening 3a that faces in a different direction from the other storage battery holders 1.

[0066] In the movable fixture 10 of this embodiment, each protective member 3 has an opening 3a that is opened in a direction different from that of the other battery holders 1. Therefore, when a cable is inserted into the battery X placed on the placement portion 2, interference of the cable with the other battery holders 1 or the battery X placed on this battery holder 1 can be suppressed.

[0067] The movable fixture 10 of this embodiment also includes a solar power generation unit 13 that generates power, and a charging unit 14 that provides electrical conduction between the storage battery X placed on the storage battery holder 1 and a power device. With the movable fixture 10 of this embodiment, the solar power generation unit 13 and the storage battery X placed on the storage battery holder 1 can be electrically connected by the charging unit 14. This makes it possible to supply power from the solar power generation unit 13 to the storage battery X. It is also possible to include a power device such as a lighting device. In such a case, the lighting device will be provided with a conductive unit that supplies power from the storage battery X.

[0068] Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the attached drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The shapes and combinations of the components shown in the above embodiment are merely examples, and various modifications can be made based on design requirements, etc., without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0069] For example, in the above embodiment, a configuration has been described in which the protective member 3 is provided with an opening 3a for exposing the cable connection port X4. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an opening different from the opening 3a may be formed in the protective member 3. Providing such an opening makes it easier to hook fingers or the like on the protective member 3, making it easier to carry the storage battery holder 1. In addition, the weight of the storage battery holder 1 can be reduced. [Explanation of symbols]
