  • Patent number: 11145937
    Abstract: A battery pack includes a series of battery cells, a series of bus bars electrically connecting the series of battery cells, and a terminal member. The terminal member includes a first metal layer extending from an internal connection position connected to at least one of the series of bus bars to an external connection position for supplying output power of the battery pack. The terminal member also includes a second metal layer covering the first metal layer at the external connection position. The second metal layer includes a second metal different from a first metal of the first metal layer. Therefore, the battery pack has an improved structure for stable and low-resistance connection.
