  • Patent number: 10818957
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a battery pack including a battery cell having an electrode assembly received in a battery case, made of a laminate sheet including a resin layer and a metal layer, together with an electrolytic solution. An upper case, a PCB, and a battery cell are simultaneously coupled to each other through a hot-melt process without using additional members, such as double-sided adhesive tape and a PCM case. In particular, a label can be removed from an embedded type battery pack. Consequently, it is possible to improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce manufacturing cost due to the reduction in the number of parts.
