A battery module is provided. The battery module includes a battery body having a plurality of unit cells arranged in series and having a respective barrier disposed between adjacent unit cells. End plates are disposed on opposite outermost sides of the battery body. A fixing unit fixes together the end plates and the battery body by enclosing an outer circumference of an assembly of the end plates and the battery body.

Battery module having an improved unit battery assembly coupling structure

A rechargeable battery having an electrolyte sealing member covering and sealing the electrolyte injection opening. An electrode assembly includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a separator wound in a jelly roll configuration. A case houses the electrode assembly. A cap assembly is combined with the case to seal the case, the cap assembly including a positive terminal connected to the positive electrode and a negative terminal connected to the negative electrode. An electrolyte injection opening is formed on the case or the cap assembly. A groove is formed along a periphery of the electrolyte injection opening. An electrolyte sealing member engages the groove.

A battery module includes a plurality of unit batteries disposed apart at intervals and a plurality of barriers interposed between the unit batteries. Each of the barriers includes a base supported on the unit battery and a plurality of protrusions extending from the base and contacting the unit battery. The protrusions are formed of an insulation material. In addition, the protrusions may be fixed onto the base in a staggered arrangement along columns and rows so that a certain angular arrangement between the alignment of protrusions is achieved, thereby maximizing cooling efficiency.
