Each of left and right side frames of a battery case enabling enhanced tolerance to a side-impact collision includes a side wall part being provided on a side on which the side frames face each other and an EA part being provided on the opposite side. The EA part includes an EA upper plate part and an EA lower plate part being vertically separated from each other. Top surfaces and bottom surfaces of the plate parts are plate-shaped parts perpendicular to the vertical direction. The side wall part includes a first rib-like part and a second rib-like part being vertically separated from each other. Top surfaces and bottom surfaces of the rib-like parts are plate-shaped parts perpendicular to the vertical direction. Extensions of center lines of the EA upper and lower plate parts in a thickness direction pass through insides of the first and second rib-like parts, respectively.

The present invention relates to: a battery module cover member that has a pattern of protrusions protruding in different directions formed thereon, and thus has improved flatness; a battery module case including the cover member; and a battery module including the same. Although manufactured as a thin film, the battery module cover member has excellent mechanical strength and flatness due to the formation of a pattern of protrusions protruding in opposite directions.
