A voltage detection apparatus is provided which is suitable for an assembled battery including a series connection of battery cells. The apparatus includes a monitoring section having battery input sections, a high-potential connection section, a low-potential connection section, and a main voltage detection section; a high-potential electrical path; a low-potential electrical path; a control section that includes a high-potential input section electrically connected to the high-potential connection section, a low-potential input section electrically connected to the low-potential connection section, and a sub voltage detection section that detects a voltage difference between the high-potential input section and the low-potential input section as a terminal voltage of a detection block; a high-potential switch that is provided in the high-potential electrical path to open and close the high-potential electrical path; and a low-potential switch that is provided in the low-potential electrical path to open and close the low-potential electrical path.
