A battery pack includes a housing, a positive terminal and a negative terminal, and a plurality of cell module assemblies. The positive terminal and negative terminal are each externally accessible from the housing and extend into a first compartment of the housing. The cell module assemblies are received in a second compartment of the housing, and are coupled to the positive terminal and the negative terminal through a connection extending from the second compartment into the first compartment. The first compartment is accessible through a first panel that is movably coupled to the housing through a first securing mechanism providing a first level of access. The second compartment is accessible through a second panel that is movably coupled to the housing through a second securing mechanism providing a second level of access.

A battery module includes batteries, bus bars, a flexible flat cable and connecting terminals. Each battery includes a first electrode and a second electrode. Each bus bar connects the first electrode of one battery with the second electrode of another battery. At least one of the bus bar is arranged obliquely. The flexible flat cable includes a number of wires arranged in parallel. Each connecting terminal includes a first connecting portion connected to a corresponding bus bar and a second connecting portion connected to a corresponding wire of the flexible flat cable. Compared with the prior art, at least one of the bus bars of the present disclosure is arranged obliquely, thereby reducing the difficulty of arranging the batteries. In addition, by providing the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, it is convenient to realize the assembly of the battery module.

A lower case of a battery module and a method for manufacturing the lower case that can reduce costs by manufacturing a cooling block using a press method, and can further strengthen safety problem due to a leakage of cooling water. There is provided a lower case of a battery module including a lower case in which a battery is mounted, a lower panel assembled to the lower case, a cooling block attached to the lower panel and configured to form a cooling passage between the lower panel and the cooling block, and nipples mounted in the lower case to introduce and withdraw cooling water into and from the cooling passage, and a manufacturing method thereof.

A contactless battery system includes a sealable dustproof and waterproof case that houses a battery unit and at least one wireless power transmission coupler connected to the battery unit. The at least one wireless power transmission coupler is disposed with respect to at least one face of the sealable case to enable magnetic inductive signaling for charging, discharging, and communication with the battery.

Without physical contacts, the battery is inherently safe since voltage and current are not available to the touch. The lack of physical contacts also means that contact wear is eliminated and the battery modules have the benefit of inherent galvanic isolation. Since the battery system is sealed, internal intrusion detection systems may be used to detect improper attempts at battery changes or attacks on the electronics containing the usage and charging records in an attempt to increase the battery unit's value on the secondary battery market.

The disclosure relates to the technical field of batteries, and provides a battery, a battery apparatus and a battery pack. The battery includes a battery surface and a pole element. The battery surface is provided with a first recess, and the first recess is used to accommodate the pole element of the other battery. The pole element is arranged on the battery surface and is located outside a range where the first recess is located. By providing the first recess on the battery surface, the pole element of the other battery can be accommodated in the first recess when the batteries are grouped.

A battery pack includes a housing having a predetermined space portion, an end plate received in the space portion, the end plate including a horizontal plate located parallel to the bottom surface of the housing and a pair of vertical plates extending from opposite edges of the horizontal plate in a perpendicular direction, and a plurality of cell cartridges received in the end plate so as to be vertically disposed, wherein a plurality of pairs of first recessed portions facing each other is provided in the inner surface of the housing, and protrusions configured to be coupled to the first recessed portions are provided on opposite ends of the cell cartridges in a thickness direction.

A battery container, a battery pack, and a vehicle are provided. The battery container includes a battery compartment and a first beam. The battery compartment is configured to accommodate a plurality of batteries. The batteries are arranged along a first direction. The first beam extends along the first direction and forms a first side wall of the battery compartment. A first adhesive receiving groove is recessed from an inner wall of the first beam. The first adhesive receiving groove extends along the first direction. The first adhesive receiving groove is configured to be filled with a connection adhesive to connect the first beam to the batteries. The inner wall of the first beam is a side wall of the first beam facing the batteries.
