  • Patent number: 10270138
    Abstract: A battery module includes: a battery cell; a protective circuit module electrically coupled to the battery cell; a temperature sensitive element at the battery cell; a flexible printed circuit board having first and second end portions and an inner portion extending between the first and second end portions; and a spring. The protective circuit module includes a rigid printed circuit board. The flexible printed circuit board is fixed to a surface of the rigid printed circuit board facing the battery cell by the first and second end portions such that the inner portion forms a loop, is electrically connected to the protective circuit module and to the temperature sensitive element, and is centrally positioned on the inner portion of the flexible printed circuit board. The spring is arranged within the loop of the flexible printed circuit board such that the temperature sensitive element is pushed towards the battery cell.
