Battery module having thermally conductive holding frame

Abstract

A heat-dispersing battery module includes a top holding frame, a bottom holding frame, and a number of batteries. The top holding frame is made of thermally conductive plastic, and defines a plurality of top receiving holes. The thermally conductive plastic includes a plastic material and a thermally conductive material dispersed in the plastic material, where a thermal conductivity coefficient of the thermally conductive plastic exceeds 3 w/mk. The bottom holding frame is connected to and spaced from the top holding frame, the bottom holding frame defines a number of bottom receiving holes each of which being aligned with a top receiving hole. Each battery includes an anode and a cathode. The batteries are positioned between the top holding frame and the bottom holding frame with the anodes of the batteries received in the top receiving holes and the cathodes of the batteries received in the bottom receiving holes.
