1. A battery storage device of a vehicle comprising:
a battery case that has an inserting/removing port for inserting and removing a battery;
a case side connection terminal that is provided in a bottom portion of the battery case and is connected to a terminal portion of the battery inserted into the battery case; and
a lid member that opens and closes the battery case,
wherein the battery storage device of a vehicle further comprises
a lock mechanism that fixes the battery stored in the battery case to the battery case,
an operation member that operates the lock mechanism, and
a terminal displacement mechanism that causes the case side connection terminal to be displaced between a connection position protruding from the bottom portion of the battery case and a retract position retracted from the connection position,
wherein at least a part of the operation member overlaps the inserting/removing port in a view in an insertion direction of the battery at a lock operation position of the operation member,
wherein the operation member does not overlap the inserting/removing port in a view in the insertion direction of the battery at an unlock operation position of the operation member,
wherein the operation member also operates the terminal displacement mechanism, and
wherein at least a part of the operation member overlaps the inserting/removing port in a view in the insertion direction of the battery at a connection operation position where the case side connection terminal is displaced to the connection position.
