Battery cell, and battery module, battery pack and vehicle including the same

A battery cell, comprising:

• an electrode assembly including a cell body and an electrode tab extending from at least one side of the cell body;
• a cell case configured to accommodate the electrode assembly therein;
• an electrode lead coupled to the electrode tab and extending from the cell case;
• and
• a tab protection module accommodated in the cell case and configured to cover at least a portion of the electrode tab, the tab protection module including a lead positioning guide configured to pass through the electrode lead from a first side of the electrode lead to a second opposing side of the electrode lead to guide the fixation of both side edges of the electrode lead,
• wherein the tab protection module is positioned such that at least a portion of the tab protection module contacts the cell body of the electrode assembly.

A battery cell, comprising:

• an electrode assembly including a cell body and an electrode tab provided to at least one side of the cell body;
