Abstract:
1. A coupling member between battery cells, comprising: a coupling body having battery insertion holes at first and second sides of the coupling body, and an insertion space in an interior of the coupling body; and a conductor installed in the insertion space to partition the insertion space into the first and second sides, the conductor configured to contact an electrode of the battery cells wherein the conductor comprises: a first conductive plate positioned at the center of the insertion space; a first coupling plate that connects the first conductive plate to an inner circumferential surface of the coupling body; a second conductive plate formed opposite to the first conductive plate; and a second coupling plate, separate from the first coupling plate, that connects the second conductive plate to the inner circumferential surface of the coupling body wherein the first and second coupling plates contact each other wherein the first and second conductive plates have convex surfaces having centers that couple with the battery cells and wherein the centers of convex surfaces of the first and second conductive plates are positioned along substantially the same axis.
