Abstract
A battery pack is disclosed which can inhibit unwanted electric short-circuits between a secondary battery and a thermal safety device. The battery pack may be further configured such that the number of welding points is reduced, simplifying a manufacturing process for the battery pack. The battery pack may include a secondary battery including a case having a first polarity, a terminal protruding from the case having a second polarity opposite to the first polarity, a safety member including an insulating holder mounted in the case around the terminal, a thermal safety device, and a conductive plate. The thermal safety device may be mounted in the insulating holder and electrically connected to the terminal. The conductive plate may be electrically connected to the thermal safety device and mounted in the insulating holder around the thermal safety device.
