Abstract
Disclosed herein is a secondary battery pack including a plurality of cartridges. Each of the cartridges has a plurality of unit cells mounted therein. The cartridges are stacked one on another in an alternate orientation structure in which electrode terminals of the neighboring cartridges are not located on the same plane when the cartridges are electrically connected to each other, thereby accomplishing easy and safe electrical connection between the cartridges.
Claims8
A battery pack including a plurality of cartridges, which are stacked one on another while the cartridges are electrically connected with each other,
- wherein the cartridges are stacked in an alternate orientation manner, in which electrode terminals of a second one of the cartridges adjacent to a first one of the cartridges are arranged at an angle of 90 degrees or more to electrode terminals of the first one of the cartridges, and electrode terminals of a third one of the cartridges adjacent to the second one of the cartridges are arranged in the same orientation as the electrode terminals of the first one of the cartridges, and
- wherein the electrode terminals of the first one of the cartridge are electrically connected to the electrode terminals of the third one of the cartridges, respectively, the electrode terminals of the second one of the cartridge are electrically connected to electrode terminals of a fourth one of the cartridges, respectively, and electrode terminals of the last one of the cartridge are electrically connected to electrode terminals of the neighboring one of the cartridges, respectively.
