A vehicle underfloor structure includes a battery having at least one connector projecting from a front end of the battery, and a protector covering and protecting the at least one connector from below, the protector having a rear portion attached to the battery and a front portion fastened to an attachment bar by a fastening bolt. The protector includes a fastening hole through which the fastening bob is inserted, and a cutout connected to a rear portion of the fastening hole and allowing the fastening bolt to separate from the protector.

A moving body includes: a first body including at least one wheel, an electric motor and a first secondary battery; and a second body attachable to and detachable from the first body and including an electric power load and a second secondary battery. When the second body is mounted on the first body, at least one of the second secondary battery and the first secondary battery is allowed to be charged in a charging mode including at least one of a first charging mode and a second charging mode. In the first charging mode, the second secondary battery is charged using electric power output from the first secondary battery. In the second charging mode, the first secondary battery is charged using electric power output from the second secondary battery.

A super capacitor module for a vehicle with a high voltage power source includes a super capacitor, high power control electronics for controlling and actuating charging of the super capacitor, a high-powered DC-DC converter connected to super capacitor and adapted to be connected to a low voltage power supply system, a voltage comparison circuit connected to the super capacitor and adapted to be connected to a low voltage power source, the super capacitor module being adapted to be connected to at least one electric control units (ECC) for a vehicle and/or a starter motor for a vehicle.

A battery monitoring apparatus includes a battery ECU, a plurality of voltage monitors, and a wireless device. The wireless device contains a main unit disposed to the battery ECU and sub units disposed to the corresponding voltage monitors. In response to establishment of communication connection of wireless communication between the main unit and the sub units, the main unit wirelessly transmits a command by the battery ECU to the sub units, and the sub units wirelessly transmit voltage information detected by the voltage monitors to the main unit. The wireless device acquires voltage monitor information prior to establishment of initial communication connection, and establishes communication connection based on the voltage monitor information. The battery ECU or each voltage monitor is provided with a storage unit configured to store voltage monitor information. At re-connection, the wireless device performs communication re-connection using the voltage monitor information stored in the storage unit.
