1. A terminal module comprising:
a voltage detection terminal including a terminal connection part configured to be connected to an electrode terminal and a wire connection part configured to be connected to a wire; and
a protector that houses at least part of the voltage detection terminal,
wherein at least one liquid draining part including a first extension part extending in a direction of gravity is provided between the terminal connection part and the wire connection part in the voltage detection terminal,
the protector includes a housing part that houses the at least one liquid draining part,
the voltage detection terminal further includes a front end part between the terminal connection part and the at least one liquid draining part, and a back end part between the wire connection part and the at least one liquid draining part,
the protector further includes a first housing part that houses the front end part and a second housing part that houses the back end part,
the first housing part includes a first placement wall on which the front end part is placed such that a lower surface of the front end part contacts an upper surface of the first placement wall,
the second housing part includes a second placement wall on which the back end part is placed such that a lower surface of the back end part contacts an upper surface of the second placement wall, and
the housing part is deeper than the first housing part and the second housing part.
