  • Patent number: 9017855
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a connection member for electrically interconnecting a plurality of battery cells in a battery pack in which the battery cells are mounted, wherein the connection member includes at least two terminal contact parts, which are connected to electrode terminals of neighboring battery cells, and a connection part for interconnecting the terminal contact parts, and wherein the terminal contact parts are lower in height, by a size corresponding to the thickness of a pack case, than the connection part such that the connection member connects the electrode terminals of the battery cells while the connection member is mounted on the outer surface of the pack case, and a battery pack including the same. Consequently, the connection member according to the present invention has the effect of effectively interconnecting the electrode terminals of the battery cells through a simple assembly process.

  • Patent number: 7968222
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a spacer including battery receiving parts formed at opposite major surfaces of a frame, respectively, the battery receiving parts having semi-cylindrical inner structures corresponding to outer surfaces of the cylindrical batteries, and assemblable coupling parts formed at opposite sides of the battery receiving parts, respectively, the assemblable coupling parts being engageable with and disengageable from the corresponding ones. The spacer according to the present invention has the effect of stably mounting cylindrical unit cells while preventing the occurrence of internal short circuits, manufacturing a structurally stable battery module, and effectively removing heat generated during charge of the cylindrical unit cells. Furthermore, the spacers can be easily assembled with each other depending upon the number of the unit cells required in manufacturing the battery module.
