Abstract
In a first state of each of a plurality of batteries in a secondary battery module, an electrode assembly has a first thickness in a first direction, and in a second state of each of the plurality of batteries, the electrode assembly has a second thickness in the first direction, the second thickness is larger than the first thickness by a thickness of 1.5% or more of a dimension of the first surface in the first direction, a first plate thickness of the case is larger than a second plate thickness of the case, a first corner portion of the case has a first curvature radius, a second corner portion of the case has a second curvature radius, and each of the first curvature radius and the second curvature radius is 0.5 mm or less.

A secondary battery module comprising:
- a plurality of batteries each including an electrode assembly and a case that accommodates the electrode assembly, the case having a prismatic shape, the plurality of batteries being arranged in a first direction;
- a temperature control member that controls a temperature of each of the plurality of batteries;
- and
- a heat transfer layer sandwiched between each of the plurality of batteries and the temperature control member in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, wherein
- the case has
- a first surface extending in a direction orthogonal to the second direction, having at least a portion in contact with the heat transfer layer, and having a first plate thickness,
- a second surface extending in a direction orthogonal to the first surface and having a second plate thickness,
- a third surface extending parallel to the second surface and facing the second surface in the first direction,
- a first corner portion provided between the first surface and the second surface in an outer surface of the case, and
- a second corner portion provided between the first surface and the third surface in the outer surface of the case,
- in a first state of each of the plurality of batteries, the electrode assembly has a first thickness in the first direction, and in a second state of each of the plurality of batteries, the electrode assembly has a second thickness in the first direction, and the second thickness is larger than the first thickness by a thickness of 1.5% or more of a dimension of the first surface in the first direction,
- the first plate thickness of the case is larger than the second plate thickness, and
- the first corner portion of the case has a first curvature radius, the second corner portion has a second curvature radius, and each of the first curvature radius and the second curvature radius is 0.5 mm or less.
