Abstract

Disclosed herein is a battery pack configured such that battery modules, each of which includes a plurality of battery cells or unit modules connected to each other in series, are connected to each other in series in a state in which the battery modules are in tight contact with each other or stacked adjacent to each other, the battery pack including a fuse connected in series in an electrical connection circuit between the battery modules and a circuit breaker mounted at an outside of at least one of the battery modules to perform electric conduction when the battery cells swell, the circuit breaker being electrically connected to the electrical connection circuit to break the fuse when electric conduction is performed due to swelling of the battery cells.
