A battery module includes a plurality of battery cells, a temperature sensor and a case. The plurality of battery cells are aligned in one direction. The temperature sensor has a first surface contacting at least one battery cell of the plurality of battery cells to measure a temperature of the at least one battery cell. The case presses against a second surface of the temperature sensor opposite to the first surface of the temperature sensor. In the battery module, the contact between the first surface of the temperature sensor and the battery cell is maintained by the case. Accordingly, the temperature sensor can precisely measure the temperature of the battery cell, thereby improving the safety of the battery module.

Battery module

A battery module including a plurality of battery cells aligned in a first direction; a heat exchange member supporting a bottom surface of each battery cell of the plurality of battery cells, the heat exchange member exchanging heat with the plurality of battery cells, wherein the heat exchange member includes a first refrigerant flow path and a second refrigerant flow path, the first refrigerant flow path is adjacent to the bottom surface of each battery cell, and the second refrigerant flow path is spaced apart from the first refrigerant flow path and below the first refrigerant flow path.

A battery pack includes a first battery module group including one or more battery modules, a second battery module group including one or more battery modules, the second battery module group being aligned with the first battery module group, a guide member between the first and second battery module groups, two or more support members that support bottom surfaces of the battery modules of the first and second battery module groups, the two or more support members being spaced apart from each other, and a housing that accommodates the first and second battery module groups therein. The guide member is provided to a battery module of the first battery module group adjacent to the second battery module group so as to change a flow path of a heat exchange medium passing through the first battery module group.

Battery pack

A battery pack includes a plurality of battery modules including at least a first group of the battery modules and a second group of the battery modules, a first coolant flow pathway through the battery modules of the first group and the second group, a second coolant flow pathway along an exterior of the battery modules of the first group, and a converging coolant flow pathway connected with the first coolant flow pathway, the converging coolant flow pathway being disposed downstream of the first group of the battery modules, the converging coolant flow pathway joining the second coolant flow pathway with the first coolant flow pathway.

A battery module including a battery array including: a plurality of battery cells, each including a first surface at a first end of the battery cell; an electrode terminal at the first end; a second surface at a second end of the battery cell opposite the first end; and a side surface extending between the first and second ends, the second surfaces of first and second battery cells of the plurality of battery cells facing each other.

A battery module includes a plurality of battery cells, and a heat exchanging member adjoining the plurality of battery cells in heat exchanging relationship therewith. The heat exchanging member includes a plurality of tubes arranged therein, and each tube defines a plurality of heat exchanging medium flow passageways therein.

A battery module including a plurality of battery cells each having a terminal surface accommodating at least one electrode terminal and a vent, and a bottom surface generally opposite from the terminal surface; and an end plate on the terminal surface of each of the battery cells, the end plate having an exhausting hole generally corresponding to the vent and a guide unit covering a portion of the exhausting hole.
