Abstract: A battery array is disclosed. In one embodiment, the battery array includes a plurality of batteries arranged in N rows and three columns, wherein N is a natural number of 2 or more, wherein three batteries in each row are connected in parallel so as to make one bundle, wherein the batteries are sequentially arranged to form N bundles, and wherein the polarities of electrodes of the batteries, when seen from the same side of the battery array, are alternately arranged from a first bundle in the first row to an N-th bundle in the N-th row. The battery array may further include i) a plurality of connection taps configured to sequentially connect in series the first bundle to the N-th bundle and ii) first and second polarity output terminals provided in the first bundle and the N-th bundle, respectively.
