  • Publication number: 20210028417
    Abstract: A pouch-type secondary battery and a method of manufacturing same are capable of completely protecting a metal layer from moisture or air by forming an insulating coating layer including a conformal coating layer on the metal layer exposed at a cut surface of a battery case. The method includes a first step of preparing a battery case including an upper case and a lower case by cutting a laminate sheet including an outer coating layer, a metal layer, and an inner coating layer; a second step of receiving an electrode assembly between the upper case and the lower case; a third step of forming a sealing portion by contacting outer peripheries of the upper case and the lower case; and a fourth step of forming a conformal coating layer on a side surface of the sealing portion so as to prevent exposure of the metal layer.

  • Patent number: 10522803
    Abstract: A battery pack that includes a plurality of battery modules arranged adjacent to each other and mounted on a base plate, the base plate including a module receiving part on which the battery modules are mounted, and a cooling assembly that is disposed between the base plate and bottom portions of the battery modules and through which a refrigerant flows so as to cool the battery modules. In order to couple the battery modules to the base plate, bolt fastening grooves are drilled in the height direction of the battery module at respective corners on the horizontal surface of the battery module, and welding nuts are inserted through openings and fitted to the base plate at positions corresponding to the bolt fastening grooves.
