  • Patent number: 11511648
    Abstract: A coolant passage, which is included in a cooling plate thermally coupled to a plurality of battery cells and includes longitudinal coolant passages connected to an inlet side and an outlet side for a coolant and lateral coolant passages connecting the longitudinal coolant passages in parallel with each other, cools the battery cells by allowing the coolant to flow in both the longitudinal coolant passages and the lateral coolant passages via the cooling plate.

  • Patent number: 11476541
    Abstract: A power supply device includes secondary battery cells disposed adjacent to each other and a separator that is interposed between the secondary battery cells adjacent to each other. The separator is made of a flexible material that has both a heat insulating property and restoring force such that the separator deforms when being pressed by each of the secondary battery cells and recovers an original shape of the separator. This configuration provides an improved heat insulating property between the secondary battery cells and prevents thermal propagation caused by thermal runaway. At the same time, this allows the separator to adapt to deformation of a secondary battery cell that has thermally swelled. In response to contraction of the swelled battery, the separator recovers its original shape to maintain a mechanical pressing force. This allows the power supply device to provide increased mechanical stability and maintain resistance to vibration and impact.
