Abstract
A battery module reinforces safety by reducing the influence on adjacent battery cells when a thermal event occurs. The battery module includes a plurality of battery cells having electrode leads; a module case configured to accommodate the plurality of battery cells in an inner space; a separation member configured to divide a space between at least some of the plurality of battery cells and having a slot into which the electrode lead is inserted; and an insulation block having an electrical insulating material and configured to surround an outer side of at least a part of the electrode lead inserted into the slot.
Claims18
A battery module, comprising:
- a plurality of battery cells, each of the plurality of battery cells having an electrode lead;
- a module case configured to accommodate the plurality of battery cells in an inner space;
- a separation member configured to divide a space between at least adjacent battery cells of the plurality of battery cells and having a slot into which the electrode lead of a first battery cell of the adjacent battery cells is inserted;
- and
- an insulation block made of an electrical insulating material and configured to surround an outer side of the electrode lead of the first battery cell inserted into the slot.
