1. A battery wiring module comprising:
module-side terminals that are electrically connected to bus bars connecting battery terminals of a plurality of battery cells;
wires with ends on one side connected to the module-side terminals; and
a housing for accommodating the wires and the module-side terminals,
wherein the housing includes:
a wire accommodating portion for accommodating the wires;
a plurality of terminal accommodating portions for accommodating the module-side terminals; and
first elastic joining portions joining the wire accommodating portion and the terminal accommodating portions in a direction in which the battery cells are aligned, in an elastically-deformable manner,
wherein the terminal accommodating portions and the wire accommodating portion include lead-in ports through which the wires are lead in from the terminal accommodating portions toward the wire accommodating portion, and at least either the lead-in ports on a terminal accommodating portion side or the lead-in ports on a wire accommodating portion side each include a protruding portion that protrudes in a direction away from a corresponding one of the first elastic joining portions.
 
9. A battery wiring module comprising:
module-side terminals that are electrically connected to bus bars connecting battery terminals of a plurality of battery cells;
wires with ends on one side connected to the module-side terminals; and
a housing for accommodating the wires and the module-side terminals,
wherein the housing includes:
a wire accommodating portion for accommodating the wires;
a plurality of terminal accommodating portions for accommodating the module-side terminals; and
first elastic joining portions joining the wire accommodating portion and the terminal accommodating portions in a direction in which the battery cells are aligned, in an elastically-deformable manner, wherein
the wire accommodating portion includes an extended wall portion that extends from an end portion in the direction in which the battery cells are aligned, wherein
at least one of the terminal accommodating portions arranged opposing the extended wall portion in the direction in which the battery cells are aligned is joined on one side in the direction in which the battery cells are aligned by a corresponding one of the first elastic joining portions, and is joined on another side in the direction in which battery cells are aligned by a third elastic joining portion that joins to the extended wall portion in an elastically-deformable manner.
