Battery module

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a battery module capable of stably maintaining contact of electrode leads while having a simple structure and high assemblability. The battery module of the present disclosure includes: a cell assembly including a plurality of secondary batteries and a plurality of cartridges, the secondary batteries being vertically arranged and including electrode leads, the cartridges being vertically stacked to accommodate the secondary batteries in an inner space thereof; and a sensing assembly mounted on a front side of the cell assembly and including an insulation housing formed of an electrically insulative material and a sensing bus bar formed of an electrically conductive material, the sensing assembly being coupled to the electrode leads to sense voltages of the secondary batteries, wherein the insulation housing includes a plurality of penetration holes vertically spaced apart from each other to receive the electrode leads therethrough, and a plurality of housing slant portions arranged in the penetration holes and sloped at a predetermined angle from a horizontal direction.
