Abstract
A battery module comprises a plurality of electrically interconnected battery cells, a module cover, and a battery cell monitoring unit. The battery cells include at least one terminal cover. The battery cell monitoring unit is positioned on an inner face of the at least one terminal cover.
Claims11
A battery module, comprising:
- a module body;
- a plurality of battery cells that are positioned in the module body and that each include at least one connection terminal;
- at least one cell connector that electrically interconnects the plurality of battery cells via the at least one connection terminal of each battery cell;
- and
- a module cover configured to cover the module body in a closed position, and that includes:
- at least one terminal cover detachably mounted in the module cover such that, in the closed position of the module cover, the at least one terminal cover covers the at least one cell connector;
- and
- a battery cell monitoring unit detachably mounted in an installation space on an inner face of the at least one terminal cover such that, in the closed position of the module cover, the battery cell monitoring unit contacts at least one of the at least one cell connector and the at least one connection terminal.

- a module cover configured to cover the module body in a closed position, and that includes:
- at least one terminal cover detachably mounted in the module cover such that, in the closed position of the module cover, the at least one terminal cover covers the at least one cell connector, wherein the at least one terminal cover includes a tapered material portion that defines a bending line running along the tapered material portion;
- and
- a battery cell monitoring unit positioned on an inner face of the at least one terminal cover such that, in the closed position of the module cover, the battery cell monitoring unit contacts at least one of the at least one cell connector and the at least one connection terminal, wherein the tapered material portion of the at least one terminal cover enables releasing the battery cell monitoring unit from the at least one terminal cover via bending the at least one terminal cover along the bending line.
