The disclosure relates to the technical field of traction batteries, and in particular to a battery pack and a vehicle comprising the battery pack. The invention aims at the problem of large heat loss in the existing traction battery in a low-temperature environment. To this end, the battery pack of the disclosure comprises: a frame internally formed with an installation site; a battery module mounted in the installation site and comprising a number of cells; and a side beam connected to an outer side wall of the frame and made of a first thermal insulation material. The above arrangement can reduce the heat transfer coefficient of natural convection between the side wall of the frame and the environment, and reduce the heat flux, thereby reducing the temperature loss of the cells.

A battery pack includes: a plurality of battery cells; a case providing an accommodation space for accommodating the battery cells and a cooling fluid for cooling the battery cells; and a barrier wall extending across the accommodation space and dividing the accommodation space into an upstream area in communication with an inlet for the cooling fluid and a downstream area in communication with an outlet for the cooling fluid. The barrier wall provides a communication area where the upstream area and the downstream area communicate with each other. The inlet and the outlet are at a first end of the barrier wall in an extension direction of the barrier wall, and the communication area is at a second end of the barrier wall in the extension direction of the barrier wall.

A removable battery component carrier (30,60) for accommodating a battery submodule (40,64) and configured to be mechanically and electrically connected to other removable battery component carriers (30,60) and/or to a carrier frame is provided. The removable battery component carrier (30,60) comprises a bottom plate (32,62), a pair of side walls (31) extending upward from the bottom plate (32,62) along two longitudinal edges of the bottom plate (32,62), a pair of end plates (33) extending upwards from the bottom plate (32,62) along two transversal edges of the bottom plate (32,62). The end plates (33) are mechanically coupled to the side walls (31) and/or to the bottom plate (32,62) to fix battery cells (1,1′) together. A cell cover (34,66) extends parallel to the bottom plate (32,62) so that the cell cover, the bottom plate, the side walls, and the end plates form an accommodating space for the battery submodule (40,64).

A battery pack having a first cell unit and a second cell unit in which multiple battery cells are connected in series is provided. When the battery pack is not connected to an electric apparatus main body, the first cell unit and the second cell unit are in a non-connection state in which the first cell unit and the second cell unit are not electrically connected to each other. The battery pack includes: a microcomputer, connected to one of the first cell unit and the second cell unit; a residual quantity display portion, connected to the microcomputer and displaying a battery residual quantity of the battery pack; and a switch, being operated by a worker. When the switch is operated while in the non-connection state, the microcomputer is configured to perform a light-on control to display the battery residual quantity by the residual quantity display portion.

A power source device includes: a plurality of batteries each including a discharge valve that opens when an internal pressure becomes higher than a set pressure and jets emission gas; outer case that houses these batteries and is composed by providing discharge opening that discharges, to an outside, the emission gas from the discharge valve; and heat-resistant plate that is a part of outer case and is composed by being disposed in a facing attitude in an inside of exhaust surface (25) composed by providing discharge opening, wherein heat-resistant plate is: provided with, along an outer peripheral edge, energy attenuation gap between the heat-resistant plate itself and an inner surface of the outer case; provided with planar heat radiation gap between the heat-resistant plate itself and an inner surface of the exhaust surface; and composed to cause the emission gas jetted from the discharge valves to pass through energy attenuation gap and heat radiation gap, and to be discharged from discharge opening to an outside.

A battery pack includes a plurality of batteries each including a discharge valve that opens when an internal pressure becomes higher than a set pressure, and case housing batteries. Case has an integrated structure of plastic resin case and metal plate, resin case has heat radiation opening closed by metal plate, and metal plate has a plurality of smoke discharge holes in closed region where heat radiation opening of resin case is closed.

A battery, for example, a rechargeable battery (e.g. lithium ion battery) having a casing with battery terminals. The casing, for example, includes an upper section, middle section, and lower section connected together. The battery can be connected to one or more battery trays having the same height or different heights for various applications.

A drive battery for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, includes a housing, which has a plurality of partial regions, wherein one or more cell modules are respectively arranged in a first partial region and in a second partial region. A composite component is arranged between the first partial region and the second partial region in order to separate the partial regions. The composite component has a profile element of fiber-reinforced plastic, a foam body of a compressible foam and/or a silicone mat.

The present disclosure provides a battery pack including: multiple flat battery cells, a housing, a bearing plate and an upper cover, wherein a middle recessed portion is formed between the protruding battery cell anode and battery cell cathode disposed on the top portion of each of the multiple battery cells; a surface of the middle recessed portion is provided with at least one seal-breakable opening arranged to discharge the gas generated in the battery cell when broken; the multiple middle recessed portions at the top portions of the multiple battery cells form a battery top portion through-slot; a bottom portion of the bearing plate is provided with a bearing plate bottom portion through-slot; the bearing plate bottom portion through-slot is press-fitted with the battery top portion through-slot to form a lateral gas discharging passage wherein one end of the lateral gas discharging passage is provided with an outlet, and another end of the lateral gas discharging passage is blocked. The gas discharging passage of the present disclosure utilizes the existing structures of the battery pack without additionally designing a separate specific gas discharging passage.

The present disclosure relates to a battery module that includes a housing having a first protruding shelf along a first perimeter of the housing, a second protruding shelf along a second perimeter of the housing, where the first and second protruding shelves each include an absorptive material configured to absorb a first laser emission.
