  • Publication number: 20220278413
    Abstract: The present invention relates to: a battery module cover member that has a pattern of protrusions protruding in different directions formed thereon, and thus has improved flatness; a battery module case including the cover member; and a battery module including the same. Although manufactured as a thin film, the battery module cover member has excellent mechanical strength and flatness due to the formation of a pattern of protrusions protruding in opposite directions.

  • Patent number: 11177530
    Abstract: A battery pack which includes a plurality of battery modules, each battery module including a plurality of battery cells. Electrode leads extend from the plurality of battery cells; a connection member connects with at least one of the electrode leads; a bus bar electrically connects neighboring battery modules, and one end thereof contacts the connection member. An insulation member covers a contact portion of the connection member and the bus bar; and a flame spread blocking member overlaps the contact portion of the connection member and the bus bar, while being disposed on the insulation member.
