1. A vehicle battery pack comprising:
a first battery module and a second battery module each formed by stacking a plurality of cells in a first direction, each of the plurality of cells being hexahedron;
a fan which includes a blade body configured to rotate about a rotary shaft, the fan being configured to supply air to the first battery module and the second battery module; and
a housing configured to accommodate the first battery module, the second battery module, and the fan, wherein:
the first battery module and the second battery module are arranged side by side in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction;
in the first battery module, the plurality of cells are bound in the first direction by a binding member;
the binding member is a plate-like member which is made of metal;
the fan is arranged in such a manner that the rotary shaft faces the binding member;
the binding member includes a frame portion which includes an opening through which the air passes; and
the fan is arranged in such a manner that an axis along which the rotary shaft rotates intersects with the frame portion.
