The present invention relates to a battery pack capable of discharging gases in a pouch type battery cell when a gas pressure inside the pouch type battery cell is increased over a reference pressure, the battery pack including: a plurality of pouch type battery cells; a case comprising partitions suppressing the pouch type battery cells from expanding in a thickness direction thereof, wherein the pouch type battery cells are respectively held in spaces defined by the partitions; and a punching unit installed on the case to pierce a portion of surfaces of the pouch type battery cells, which is not supported by the partition, and having pin members of which number is equal to that of the pouch type battery cells.

Disclosed herein is a battery module having a plurality of unit cells that can be charged and discharged, the battery module including busbars for electrically interconnecting the unit cells, ring terminals connected to electrical connection portions of the unit cells for measuring voltages of the unit cells, and a busbar mounting member mounted at an outer surface of the battery module corresponding to the electrical connection portions of the unit cells, the busbar mounting member including ring terminal guides for preventing rotation of the ring terminals.

Battery enclosure arrangements for a vehicular battery system. The arrangements, capable of impact resistance include plurality of battery cells and a plurality of kinetic energy absorbing elements. The arrangements further include a frame configured to encase the plurality of the kinetic energy absorbing elements and the battery cells. In some arrangements the frame and/or the kinetic energy absorbing elements can be made of topologically interlocked materials.

A battery is provided including a battery cell having main top and bottom surfaces, and a plurality of side surfaces; and at least one resin section including a cured resin that covers at least three of the plurality of side surfaces of the battery cell, but that does not cover substantially all of the top and bottom surfaces of the battery cell.

The present disclosure provides a battery module, which comprises: a plurality of mono-batteries arranged in a manner that side surfaces are adjacent to each other; an insulative casing receiving the plurality of mono-batteries; a supporting frame fixed in the insulative casing, provided with a potting hole, and holding the plurality of mono-batteries therein; and a separating body which is formed by injecting via the potting holes and curing and is potted among the adjacent mono-batteries, so as to allow the plurality of mono-batteries to be insulated and isolated from each other. When one mono-battery is involved in a safety problem and leaks, other mono-batteries are not affected due to the isolation of the separating body potted among the adjacent mono-batteries, so as to improve the safety performance of the battery module. In addition, the battery module has the advantages of simple structure, small size, and low cost.

An ECU of an electric vehicle supplies a target rotation speed RT having a value corresponding to the temperature TB of a main battery to a cooler, controls a main DC/DC converter such that the SOC of an auxiliary battery is in a predetermined range SOCL to SOCH less than 100% when a cooling fan in the cooler is driven at the target rotation speed (RT), and controls the main DC/DC converter such that the SOC of the auxiliary battery is 100% when the cooling fan is not driven at the target rotation speed (RT).

A battery has a cathode, an anode and an electrolyte, with the cathode having a cathode current collector and a cathode material. The cathode material has a cathode active material, which is capable of reversibly intercalating and deintercalating first metal ions. The electrolyte has a solvent capable of dissolving the first metal ions and second metal ions that can be reduced to a metal during a charge cycle and be oxidized from the metal to the dissolved second metal ions during a discharge cycle. The cathode current collector has an electrochemically inert carrier and graphite. The carrier is wrapped by the graphite. The cathode current collector provided has good corrosion resistance and the battery has a long floating charge life and a low cost.

Disclosed herein is a battery pack case configured to receive a battery module assembly including a plurality of battery modules, each having a plurality of battery cells or unit modules mounted therein, sequentially stacked, wherein a coolant inlet port and a coolant outlet port are located at the upper part and the lower part of the battery pack case, respectively, in a state in which the coolant inlet port and the coolant outlet port are opposite to each other such that a coolant for cooling the unit modules flows from one side of the battery modules to the opposite side of the battery modules in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the unit modules are stacked, and an inclined plate for guiding the flow of the coolant is provided between the battery pack case and the battery modules.

An electricity storage module includes a power storage element group obtained by stacking a plurality of power storage elements each having a lead terminal that protrudes from a side edge. The lead terminals are each provided with a terminal connection portion for electrically connecting the lead terminals that are adjacent in a direction in which the power storage elements are stacked, and a detection terminal portion that is electrically connectable to a device for detecting and controlling states of the respective power storage element.
