Abstract
A battery module includes a battery, a structure positioned at least partially around the battery, a temperature sensor positioned between the battery and the structure, and a directing portion directing a temperature detection range of the temperature sensor toward the battery.
Claims20
A battery module comprising:
- a battery including a lead on at least a side of the battery in a first direction, the battery having a width in a second direction of the battery perpendicular to the first direction and a thickness in a third direction of the battery perpendicular to both of the first direction and the second direction, the thickness being less than the width;
- a structure positioned at least partially around the battery;
- a temperature sensor positioned between the battery and the structure;
- and
- a thermal shield element at least partially positioned between the temperature sensor and the structure, wherein
- at least a portion of the structure is positioned perpendicular to the second direction of the battery, and
- the thermal shield element is in direct contact with the at least the portion of the structure.
