Vehicle battery power supply monitoring and management systems and methods for use with replaceable and rechargeable batteries, which among other things is configured to facilitate the sequential usage of each battery from a plurality of batteries mounted within a vehicle based on a measurement of the condition of the battery.

A cell module includes a plurality of battery cells each having a safety valve at a first end in a height direction, a first current collector plate including a main body having a through hole that at least partly overlaps the safety valve when viewed along the height direction and a lead extending into the through hole from the main body and being electrically connected to a first terminal of each of the battery cells, an exhaust duct disposed over a surface of the first current collector plate remote from the battery cells, and an insulating film being made of an insulating material and covering an area of the first current collector plate facing the exhaust duct. The safety valve opens when an internal pressure of any of the battery cells reaches or exceeds a predetermined level.

Disclosed is a disassembling tool for a secondary battery. The disassembling tool includes a first rotation member configured to be rotatable and to allow a nut to be coupled thereto; a connection shaft coupled to the first rotation member; a second rotation member coupled to the connection shaft to transmit a rotational force to the connection shaft; and a housing, in which the connection shaft is disposed. The housing is inclined with respect to a virtual horizontal line parallel to a ground surface.
