According to one embodiment, a battery module includes a plurality of sub-modules. The plurality of sub-modules are integrated. Each of the plurality of sub-modules includes a cell group configured using a plurality of cells connected in series. The plurality of cells configuring the cell group are arranged linearly such that intra-cell current directions are parallel and the intra-cell current direction of each of the cells is opposite to the intra-cell current direction of the cell adjacent to each cell in the cell group. Each of the plurality of sub-modules includes an input terminal to input a current to the cell group and an output terminal to output the current from the cell group.

Battery module, battery, and electric device

According to embodiments, a battery includes: a rectangular box-shaped battery case, an inner portion of which is sealed; a battery module housed in the battery case and being an aggregation of a plurality of battery cells; and a tubular heat resistant sheet arranged between the battery case and the battery module in a state of covering an entire side surface of an inner wall surface of the battery case.

Battery

A battery module according to one embodiment includes a stack of battery cells. The battery module also includes a fitting portion provided with at least one of a concave portion or a convex portion formed on a stack surface of each of the battery cells of the stack. The battery module further includes: a first frame which is fitted with one side surface of the stack and constrains the battery cells in a stacking direction; a second frame which is fitted with another side surface of the stack and constrains the battery cells in the stacking direction; and press members located at respective ends of the stack and connected to the first frame and the second frame. The press members are configured to generate an urging force for pressing electrode members of the battery cells from outside the battery cells.

Battery module

According to one embodiment, a substrate unit includes an electronic circuit substrate which includes a first width dimension portion, and a second width dimension portion continuous with the front direction side of the first width dimension portion. A first concave portion is formed on the first direction side of the first width dimension portion and a second concave portion is formed on the second direction side of the first width dimension portion in the electronic circuit substrate. The substrate unit includes a heat sink which includes a first side frame portion fixed to the first width dimension portion from the first concave portion, a second side frame portion fixed to the first width dimension portion from the second concave portion, and a sink main body portion continuous from the first side frame portion to the second side frame portion.
