A battery module according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a battery cell stack in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked, a module frame that is formed into a bowl type of a bottom surface and front, rear, left and right surfaces and houses the battery cell stack; and an upper plate that covers the upper side of the battery cell stack and is coupled to the module frame, wherein the module frame comprises a bottom part, front and rear plates, and left and right plates, wherein the bottom part, the front and rear plates, and the left and right plates are integrally formed, and wherein a recessed part is formed at a portion where a bottom edge connected to the front and rear plates meet with a bottom edge connected to the left and right plates.

A battery module and a battery pack including the same are provided. Battery cells are manufactured in the form of a module, and thus, even when the specifications of the battery pack are changed depending on a vehicle kind, the standardized battery cells are applicable to battery packs having various specifications and a separate design process for disposing the battery cells in the battery pack may be omitted, thereby reducing the development period and costs of a new battery pack. Further, plural temperature sensors configured to measure the temperatures of the battery cells are provided so as to provide the optimum environment to the battery cells, and the respective temperature sensors may not be located inside the battery module so as to be easily managed. Moreover, surface pressure performance due to end plates may be secured even when the temperature sensors are located outside the battery module.

A battery module according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing receiving a plurality of battery cells and including a bottom plate and a lateral plate; and a connection board disposed at one end or both ends of the housing, wherein the connection board is bonded to the lateral plate. The lateral plate may include a plurality of bus bar supporting members, at least some among the plurality of bus bar supporting members having a hooking protrusion protruded upward. The connection board may include a hooking member having a hooking groove opened downward. Thus, the hooking protrusion may be inserted into the hooking groove in a state in which the connection board is bonded to the lateral plate.

A lithium-ion battery module includes a housing having a plurality of partitions configured to define a plurality of compartments within a housing. The battery module also includes a lithium-ion cell element provided in each of the compartments of the housing. The battery module further includes a cover coupled to the housing and configured to route electrolyte into each of the compartments. The cover is also configured to seal the compartments of the housing.

A battery device includes a main body and a rear cover removably connected to the main body. The main body has a first battery receiving compartment. The rear cover has a second battery receiving compartment. The first battery receiving compartment is configured to receive at least two batteries while the second battery receiving compartment is configured to receive at least one battery.

For the battery device, since the back cover is provided with the second battery receiving compartment cooperating with the first battery receiving compartment in the body, the apparatus applying the battery device has at least two supportable power levels. In this way, the battery device can be switched between a low power and a high power, eliminating the need of another battery device.
