A battery pack, comprising:
- a main frame supporting a battery cell, the main frame including a hook hole and a reinforcer adjacent to the hook hole;
- and
- a main cover coupled to the main frame, the main cover including a hook inserted into and retained in engagement with the hook hole,
- wherein:
- the reinforcer faces the hook hole with the hook therebetween to support the hook,
- the main frame includes:
- a mounting surface configured to support a surface of the battery cell, and
- a sidewall portion extending along edges of the mounting surface,
- the reinforcer includes:
- a first rib parallel with the sidewall portion, extending from the mounting surface, and being between the battery cell and the sidewall portion, and
- a connection rib integrally formed with each of opposite ends of the first rib to physically connect each of the opposite ends of the first rib to the sidewall portion,
- a distance between the first rib of the reinforcer and the sidewall portion of the main frame is smaller than a width of the hook, and
- the main frame includes a contact point, at which a top of a reinforcement rib is connected to a top of a sub-frame, positioned farther from the mounting surface than a mid-point of the hook hole is from the mounting surface.
