Battery module with improved safety

Abstract

A battery module has an improved structure to appropriately manage heat or gas discharged from the battery module. A battery module includes a cell assembly including one or more battery cells, a module case having an inner space in which the cell assembly is accommodated, the module case including a venting hole through which venting gas generated from the cell assembly is discharged, a vent provided outside the module case, and configured to allow venting gas discharged from the venting hole to be introduced and discharged to an outside, and a cooler including at least a portion provided in a path through which the venting gas flows, the cooler being configured to absorb heat and release the heat to an outside.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
