Battery module and battery pack including the same

A battery module comprising:

• a battery cell stack in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked;
• and
• a cooling fin located between the battery cells,
• wherein each of the battery cells includes a protruding electrode lead,
• wherein the cooling fin contacts a region including one end portion of the battery cell in a direction in which the electrode lead protrudes,
• wherein the electrode lead comprises a first electrode lead and a second electrode lead that protrude in directions opposite to each other, and that have different polarities from each other,
• wherein the cooling fin comprises a first cooling fin and a second cooling fin,
• wherein the first cooling fin contacts a region including one end portion of the battery cell in a direction in which the first electrode lead protrudes,
• wherein the second cooling fin contacts a region including the other end portion of the battery cell in a direction in which the second electrode lead protrudes, and
• wherein the regions that the first cooling fin or the second cooling fin contact are parts of a cell body of the battery cell,
• wherein the battery module further comprises an elastic member that covers a front surface, a rear surface and both side surfaces of the battery cell stack,
• wherein the battery module further comprises a first sensing block located between the front surface of the battery cell stack and the elastic member, and a second sensing block located between the rear surface of the battery cell stack and the elastic member.
