Abstract: A method of manufacturing a battery pack including battery cells that have electrode tabs protruding from an outer surface includes stacking the battery cells and housing the battery cells in a case so that the electrode tabs protrude from slits in the case, bending the electrode tabs protruding from the slits so that the electrode tabs of adjacent battery cells are folded and overlap each other, and welding the folded and overlapping portion of the electrode tabs.

Abstract: A battery pack includes stacked battery cells, each battery cell including a first outer surface having an electrode tab protruding therefrom and a second outer surface that is a side surface intersecting the first outer surface, and a first case that surrounds the battery cells along the first outer surface and the second outer surface. An opening exposing the electrode tab is formed in the first case. The opening includes an inner surface that faces a side surface of all of the electrode tabs exposed through the opening and that is capable of abutting against the electrode tabs when the battery cells are inserted in the first case.

Abstract: A battery pack includes stacked battery cells housed between a first case and a second case. The battery cells each include an electrode tab protruding from a first outer surface. The first case and the second case are divided so as to sandwich the battery cells from a side surface of the electrode tab. The first case includes a housing portion configured to house at least a portion of the electrode tab and an abutting portion capable of abutting the side surface of the electrode tab of each battery cell when the electrode tab is inserted in the housing portion.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a battery pack including a plurality of battery cells that have electrode tabs protruding from an outer surface includes stacking the battery cells and housing the battery cells in a case so that the electrode tabs of adjacent battery cells are folded and overlap each other, and welding the electrode tabs together through a window of the case, the window being provided at a position opposite a folded and overlapping portion of the electrode tabs.

Abstract: Productivity of an assembled battery is improved by shortening the takt time for assembly. An assembled battery (100) includes a battery module group (B) including one or more battery cells (150) and a cell holder (120) for holding the one or more battery cells (150), and an auxiliary module group (S) including components (210, 220, 230, 240) and a pedestal (200) on which the components (210, 220, 230, 240) are arranged. The battery module group (B) and the auxiliary module group (S) are attached together by the pedestal (200) being fastened to the cell holder (120) with bus bars (164, 165, 285, 286).

Abstract: A battery pack includes battery cells stacked in a predetermined direction, cell cases housing the battery cells, a restraining plate attached to the cell cases, and a case housing the cell cases. The cell cases include openings at each side in the predetermined direction. The restraining plate exerts pressure on the battery cells through the openings from one end in the predetermined direction. The case includes a bottom surface. The bottom surface exerts pressure on the battery cells through the openings from the opposite side from the side where the restraining plate exerts pressure on the battery cells.

Abstract: A battery pack includes stacked battery cells housed between a first case and a second case. The battery cells each include electrode tabs protruding from an outer surface. The first case and the second case are aligned in a direction in which the electrode tabs protrude and are connected to each other. The battery cells are inserted in the first case in the direction in which the electrode tabs protrude. The first case includes an abutting portion against which the electrode tab or the outer surface of each of the battery cells abuts in the direction in which the electrode tabs protrude.
