Claim Text:
1. A battery module having a plurality of battery cells electrically connected to each other, the battery module comprising: a voltage sensing unit comprising voltage sensing terminals electrically connected to electrode terminal connection portions of the battery cells and a conduction part connected to the voltage sensing terminals to transmit voltages detected by the voltage sensing terminals to a module control unit; a signal cutoff unit located between the voltage sensing terminals and the conduction part to interrupt transmission of the detected voltages when a short circuit occurs in the conduction part; a cell unit stack comprising two or more hexahedral cell units electrically connected to each other in a stacked state; and a module case, the cell unit stack mounted on a side of the module case, wherein the module case comprises an upper case and a lower case, which are coupled each other by vertical assembly, wherein the voltage sensing unit comprises sensing unit frames mounted at a front and a rear of the lower case, wherein the voltage sensing terminals are inserted into the sensing unit frames, and wherein the conduction part is connected between the voltage sensing terminals.
