Abstract:
1. A voltage sensing member for sensing the voltage of battery cells constituting a battery module, the voltage sensing member comprising: (a) a pair of supporting parts mounted to the bottom of the battery module at regions corresponding to electrode terminal connections of the battery cells, wherein the pair of supporting parts is a front supporting part and a rear supporting part; (b) a connection part for electrically interconnecting the supporting parts; (c) a plurality of linear mounting parts protruding upward while one end of each linear mounting part is fixed to the corresponding support part; (d) a plurality of conductive sensing parts electrically connected to the corresponding supporting parts while the conductive sensing parts are mounted to the respective mounting parts, the conductive sensing parts being elastically connected to electrode terminals of the battery cells; and (e) a connector mounted on the front supporting part or the rear supporting part for transmitting the sensed voltage of the battery cells to a battery management system (BMS).
