The present disclosure provides a battery module, including a first battery cell arrangement structure, a second battery cell arrangement structure and a bus bar array. With battery cells stacked in a horizontal direction, a first battery cell arrangement structure and a second battery cell arrangement structure are stacked in a vertical direction, and a first bus bar of a bus bar array is used to sequentially connect the battery cells of the first battery cell arrangement structure and the second battery cell arrangement structure. As a result, a total positive electrode and a total negative electrode of a battery module are located at two ends of the battery module, which greatly reduces the possibility of a short circuit of the battery module and improves the safety of the battery module.

An electric wire routing groove portion in which an electric wire is hosed includes a bottom portion; a pair of side wall portions that are erected from the bottom portion and are provided facing each other; and locking pieces that protrude from the side wall portions in directions in which the locking pieces approach each other and are formed with a gap through which the electric wire is passed between distal ends of the locking pieces. The side wall portion includes low edge portions formed on both sides of the locking pieces and provided closer to the bottom portion than a position of the locking piece on a bottom portion side.

Disclosed in the present disclosure are a welding-free connector electrically connected to a battery cell, and a lithium ion battery comprising the connector. The connector comprises current collector bars, the current collector bars being clamped with a connecting plate; the connecting plate comprises a back plate and clamping posts fixedly provided at one side of the back plate at intervals, and grooves for clamping with the current collector bars are formed between adjacent clamping posts; a thermal decomposition material layer is coated on the periphery of the clamping posts or the inner side walls of the grooves, and the thermal decomposition material layer is formed by compounding a thermosensitive resin and a modified material; and the back plate and the clamping posts are both made of a high-thermal-conductivity insulating material.
