Abstract:
1. A battery apparatus for a vehicle, the battery apparatus comprising: a plurality of secondary batteries; a casing accommodating the secondary batteries; a plurality of temperature sensors for detecting temperatures of the secondary batteries accommodated in the casing; and a temperature detecting plate fixed outside the casing, the temperature sensors being connected to the temperature detecting plate, wherein the casing includes ventilation holes, disposed between the secondary battery and the temperature detecting plate, for cooling the secondary batteries in the casing, and the temperature detecting plate includes an insulation substrate and the temperature sensors are fixed to the insulation substrate, the insulation substrate having air holes communicating with the ventilation holes of the casing, and a communicating portions are defined between the air holes, and the temperature sensors are fixed to the communicating portions, thereby allowing each of the temperature sensors to access a surface of at least one of the secondary batteries via the ventilation holes of the casing.
