VEHICLE BATTERY MOUNTING STRUCTURE
First Claim
1. A vehicle battery mounting structure comprising:
- a relay that electrically connects a battery and a motor when the relay is electrified, and that electrically disconnects the battery and the motor from each other when the relay is not electrified;
a lock mechanism that fixes the battery to a vehicle main body;
an actuation member that, when the actuation member is not electrified, causes the lock mechanism to fix the battery, and that, when the actuation member is electrified, causes the lock mechanism to discontinue fixture of the battery;
an electric power source that supplies electric power to the relay and to the actuation member; and
a switch that switches between a first connection state in which the switch electrically connects the electric power source and the relay, and a second connection state in which the switch electrically connects the electric power source and the actuation member, whereinthe relay and the actuation member are provided in parallel with each other, with respect to the electric power source.

Abstract
A vehicle battery mounting structure includes a system main relay; a lock pin that fixes the battery to a vehicle main body; an actuation member; an auxiliary battery that supplies electric power to the system main relay and the actuation member; and a switch. The system main relay electrically connects the battery and a motor when the relay is electrified, and electrically disconnects the battery from the motor when the relay is not electrified. The actuation member, when the relay is not electrified, causes a lock pin to fix the battery, and when the relay is electrified, causes the lock pin to discontinue fixation of the battery. The switch switches between a state of electrically connecting the auxiliary battery and the system main relay, and a state of electrically connecting the auxiliary battery and the actuation member.
