Abstract
The present application relates to a battery module and an end plate of the battery module. The end plate includes a body and connecting plates connected to edges of the body. The body has a different material from that of the connecting plate. The connecting plates extend along a height direction of the battery module. The body is fixedly connected to side plates of the battery module through the connecting plates. When the end plate is designed, the body can utilize a lower density material, so that the thickness of the body can be appropriately increased, which enables the case of the battery module to be not easily deformed due to the battery's expansion force. Further, the connecting plate can employ a material capable of improving the weld strength between the end plates and the side plates.
