1. A snowplow, comprising:
a battery;
a battery containing portion disposed to allow the battery to be inserted and removed in a direction inclined relative to a vertical direction;
an electrode portion disposed on an internal upper surface of the battery containing portion to be connected with a terminal of the battery; and
a body cover covering the battery containing portion from above, wherein
the battery containing portion includes a containing portion opening through which the battery is inserted and removed,
the battery containing portion is formed into a box shape having an upper wall, a lower wall, a pair of side walls and a bottom wall to form the containing portion opening, the internal upper surface is an inner surface of the upper wall,
each of the upper and lower walls is inclined at an inclination angle relative to the vertical direction so that an upper edge of the containing portion opening is situated above the bottom wall,
the body cover includes a cover opening through which the battery containing portion is inserted,
the upper wall includes a bent back portion that extends upwards from an upper edge of the upper wall, that extends at a different angle from the inclination angle of the upper wall, and that extends through the cover opening from an inside of the body cover to an outside of the body cover,
the electrode portion is disposed more inwards of the battery containing portion than the bent back portion,
wherein the battery comprises:
a groove disposed on an upper surface of the battery at a position closer to the containing portion opening side than the terminal; and,
a pair of heat dissipating portions disposed at a position lower than the terminal of the battery contained in the battery containing portion,
the terminal is disposed at a position lower than the groove of the battery contained in the battery containing portion,
the battery comprises an upper wall,
the upper wall of the battery includes:
a lowered wall that extends in an inserted and removed direction in which the battery is installed and removed; and
a raised wall surrounding the lowered wall from both sides in a width direction of the battery and from the containing portion opening side, the width direction being orthogonal to the inserted and removed direction along the upper surface of the battery,
the terminal is provided on an upper surface of the lowered wall,
the pair of heat dissipating portions are provided on an upper surface of the raised wall at the both sides,
the groove is provided on the upper surface of the raised wall at the containing portion opening side,
the groove is formed into a V-like shape in the width direction, and
a closed portion of the V-like shape is situated on the opening side of the battery contained in the battery containing portion, while an open portion of the V-like shape is situated on a bottom portion side of the battery contained in the battery containing portion.
