A battery pack includes: battery cells each including first and second end portions that are opposite each other in a length direction; a case providing an accommodation space in which each battery cell and a cooling fluid for cooling the battery cell are located, the case including a first cover covering the first end portion of the battery cell, the first cover including a first terminal hole through which the first end portion of the battery cell is partially exposed; and first and second sealing members doubly surrounding the first terminal hole from an outside of the first terminal hole to block a cooling fluid leakage passage formed through the first terminal hole. Therefore, while improving heat-dissipating performance, a cooling fluid sealing structure may be provided to the battery pack to prevent cooling fluid leakage from the accommodation space in which the battery cells are accommodated.

A battery temperature control device includes a heating medium circuit that connects a battery heat exchanger, an outside air heat exchanger, a heating medium pump, and a flow rate regulating unit. The outside air heat exchanger is connected in parallel to the battery heat exchanger. The flow rate regulating unit adjusts a flow rate of the heating medium in a first path through which the heating medium flows via at least the outside air heat exchanger and a flow rate of the heating medium in a second path through which the heating medium flows by detouring around the outside air heat exchanger. The control unit controls the flow rate regulating unit to adjust a ratio between a flow rate of the heating medium in the first path and a flow rate of the heating medium in the second path.

A battery device has a battery housing, a plurality of battery cells arranged therein, around which a dielectric thermal management medium can flow in the battery housing at least in some areas in an immersion circuit inside the battery for the purpose of immersion thermal management, and thermally conductive elements. The thermally conductive elements are each arranged between two adjacent battery cells which each bear with at least one side against the respective thermally conductive element in thermally conductive contact with the latter. The thermally conductive elements here project in at least one direction beyond the battery cells and through a housing wall of the battery housing to the outside. The thermal management medium can likewise flow around those sections of the thermally conductive elements running from the battery cells to the corresponding housing wall.
