Abstract:
1. A battery assembly comprising: a first intermodule bus bar connecting a terminal of a first battery module including a plurality of batteries to a terminal of a second battery module including a plurality of batteries; a first conductive member disposed between the terminal of the first battery module and the first intermodule bus bar; a second conductive member disposed between the terminal of the second battery module and the first intermodule bus bar; a first fastening member fixed to a receiving portion of the first battery module to couple the terminal of the first battery module, the first intermodule bus bar, and the first conductive member; a second fastening member fixed to a receiving portion of the second battery module to couple the terminal of the second battery module, the first intermodule bus bar, and the second conductive member; a first space forming member configured to provide an insulating space between the first conductive member and the terminal of the first battery module or between the first conductive member and the first intermodule bus bar when the first fastening member is released from the receiving portion of the first battery module, the first conductive member, the terminal of the first battery module, and the first intermodule bus bar being electrically connected together when the first fastening member is fastened to the receiving portion of the first battery module; and a second space forming member configured to provide an insulating space between the second conductive member and the terminal of the second battery module or between the second conductive member and the first intermodule bus bar when the second fastening member is released from the receiving portion of the second battery module, the second conductive member, the terminal of the second battery module, and the first intermodule bus bar being electrically connected together when the second fastening member is fastened to the receiving portion of the second battery module.
