  • Patent number: 7541770
    Abstract: A battery module includes a plurality of unit batteries disposed apart at intervals and a plurality of barriers interposed between the unit batteries. Each of the barriers includes a base supported on the unit battery and a plurality of protrusions extending from the base and contacting the unit battery. The protrusions are formed of an insulation material. In addition, the protrusions may be fixed onto the base in a staggered arrangement along columns and rows so that a certain angular arrangement between the alignment of protrusions is achieved, thereby maximizing cooling efficiency.
