Claims13
A battery pack, comprising:
- a battery module including a cell assembly in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked;
- and
- an end plate disposed on one side of the cell assembly to cover the cell assembly,
- wherein the end plate includes a CMU mounting part where a CMU (cell monitoring unit) for managing the cell assembly is mounted;
- a plate on which the battery module is disposed;
- an outer frame that is formed at a predetermined height outside the plate;
- and
- at least one inner frame that partitions an inner space formed by the plate and the outer frame into a plurality of module spaces, wherein the inner frame is formed so that a center beam or a cross beam of the inner frame is indented inward to accommodate the CMU of the battery module,
- wherein the space accommodating the CMU and the space accommodating the cell assembly are contiguous, side-by-side, spaces,
- wherein the CMU includes a PCB (printed circuit board) and a PCB cover, and the CMU mounting part includes a bracket protruding from the end plate at a predetermined height and accommodating the PCB therein.
