A heat exchanger for battery cooling is provided to improve an efficiency of cooling of the current heat exchangers. The heat exchanger for battery cooling comprises an upper housing with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a lower housing capable of hermetically connecting with the upper housing to form a chamber for accommodating fluid. The fluid flows into the chamber through the fluid inlet and then exits through the fluid outlet. The fluid chamber is provided with at least one S-shaped fluid directing element with several through holes. With the S-shape directing elements within the fluid chamber and the through holes formed on the directing elements, fluid can flow in an injecting manner within the chamber to realize effective cooling of the upper housing.
