A battery assembling apparatus is disclosed. The battery assembling apparatus comprises: first and second rotary tables arranged to face each other at points on respective outer circumferences and rotate in forward directions relative to each other; a battery holding part provided on the outer circumference of the first rotary table to hold a battery; a frame holding part provided on the outer circumference of the second rotary table to hold a frame; a battery supplying part for supplying batteries to the battery holding part at a position different from a facing position between the first and second rotary tables; a frame supplying part for supplying frames to the frame holding part at a position different from the facing position; and a discharging part for taking out an assembly of a battery and a frame assembled together from the facing position.

Battery assembling apparatus and battery assembly manufacturing method

A battery system includes: an assembled battery having battery cells with a pair of electrodes, wherein one electrode of one cell is coupled with another electrode of another cell via a bus bar so that the cells are coupled in series with each other; a fluid supply element for supplying fluid to the bus bar and the electrodes so that the fluid conducts heat to and absorbs heat from the bus bar and the electrodes; and a partition for partitioning the bus bars and for providing multiple passages. The bus bar and the electrodes protrude from the cell. The passages are disposed outside of the assembled battery. The fluid is branched into the passages.
