BATTERY MODULE, BATTERY SYSTEM AND ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN VEHICLE

A battery module includes a plurality of battery cells, a detection circuit, a communication unit, and a printed circuit board. The detection circuit and the communication circuit are mounted on the common printed circuit board. The detection circuit detects a voltage of each of the battery cells in the battery module, and feeds the detected voltage to the communication circuit. The communication circuit is connected to a communication circuit in another battery module or a battery ECU. Thus, the communication circuit in the battery module and the communication circuit in the other battery module or the battery ECU can communicate with each other.
