Each battery cell includes a battery top cover; a thermally conductive sampling piece, fitting snugly with the battery top cover; a thermally conductive connecting plate, where one end of the thermally conductive connecting plate fits snugly with the thermally conductive sampling piece; a circuit board, disposed above the battery top cover, where another end of the thermally conductive connecting plate is connected to the circuit board; and a thermometric element, electrically connected to the circuit board. The thermometric element is configured to collect a temperature signal of the thermally conductive connecting plate and transmit the temperature signal to the circuit board. The battery module provided in this application facilitates real-time and accurate collection of battery temperatures.

This application discloses a battery module, a battery pack, and a device, and relates to the field of battery technologies, to optimize a structure of the battery module. The battery module includes a battery, a wire harness board, a circuit board, and a temperature sensing assembly. The battery includes a top cover. The wire harness board is disposed on an outer side of the top of the top cover, and the wire harness board includes a body and a mounting portion disposed at the body. The circuit board is connected to the wire harness board. The temperature sensing assembly is mounted at the mounting portion, and pressed by the circuit board closely against the top cover. The battery module not only effectively implements temperature sensing at the top cover, but also prevents the temperature sensing assembly from being damaged due to excessive force applied by the circuit board.

A battery assembly includes a battery that has a top surface surrounded by a circumferential edge; and a removable tab attached to the top surface. The removable tab includes a first tab end and an oppositely disposed second tab end; a gripping region disposed adjacent to the first tab end; and a battery cell attachment region disposed adjacent to the second tab end and attached to the top surface of the battery. The battery cell attachment region has first and second oppositely disposed sidewalls, wherein the second tab end is curved inwardly away from the circumferential edge of the battery such that a portion of the top surface of the battery is exposed between the second tab end and the circumferential edge of the battery
