A battery module includes a plurality of battery cells aligned along one direction, each of the plurality of battery cells including terminals at first surfaces of the battery cells. A holder is on the first surfaces of the battery cells and has a groove. A frame surrounds side surfaces adjacent to the first surfaces of the battery cells and includes a first bent portion that is at least partially inserted into the groove.

Battery module

A battery module includes a plurality of battery cells aligned in one direction, each battery cell of the plurality of battery cells including a terminal portion on a first surface of a respective battery cell, a bus-bar electrically connect between the terminal portions of the plurality of battery cells, and a bus-bar holder positioned on the first surfaces of the plurality of battery cells, the bus-bar holder including support portions configured to support two different surfaces of the bus-bar, respectively.

A battery module includes a first battery cell, the first battery cell having a first electrode terminal and a second electrode terminal, a first end block adjacent to the first battery cell, the first end block having a first power terminal portion, and a connection portion electrically connecting the first electrode terminal to the first power terminal portion.

A battery module includes a plurality of battery cells, an end plate, and bush members. The plurality of battery cells are arranged along a direction. The end plate is adjacent to an outermost battery cell among the plurality of battery cells. The bush members are at respective sides of the end plate. In the battery module, the end plate includes a first end plate adjacent to the outermost battery cell, the first end plate including a first material, and a second end plate at an outer side of the first end plate, the second end plate including a second material. The bush members are at respective sides of the first and second end plates and between the first and second end plates.

A battery module includes a plurality of battery cells, a holder, and a bus-bar. The plurality of battery cells are arranged along one direction, and each of the plurality of battery cells includes a terminal and a vent at an upper surface. The holder is on the plurality of battery cells and has an opening through which the terminal is exposed. The bus-bar is has a portion in the opening of the holder and electrically couples adjacent ones of the plurality of battery cells. The holder includes a bus-bar fastening portion at an area corresponding to the terminal and an exhaust portion at an area corresponding to the vent. The bus-bar fastening portion and the exhaust portion are integrally formed.
