Abstract
A battery pack includes battery cells arranged along rows parallel to a first axis, the battery cells arranged in adjacent rows along a second axis crossing the first axis being misaligned with each other along the first axis; and a connection member configured to electrically connect the battery cells and form parallel modules, wherein the parallel modules include: a first parallel connection connecting first and second battery cells in adjacent rows; a second parallel connection connecting third and fourth battery cells in adjacent rows; and a third parallel connection connecting a pair of battery cells in a same row. The battery pack according to an embodiment may be advantageous for miniaturization and may provide a high-capacity output.
