At this time, the second terminal ring 445 installed at the other end of the wire 437 forms a first output terminal by being connected to an external connector.
A third connection member (not shown) is connected to the first electrode terminal 111 of the pair of battery units 110 positioned adjacent to the center of the sixth battery module 209 of the third battery module group 203 arranged on the third layer. The first connection bar 438 of 430 is fastened, and the wire 437 is electrically connected to the first connection bar 438 of the third connection member 430. At this time, the second terminal ring 445 installed at the other end of the wire 437 forms a second output terminal by being connected to an external connector.
As such, the battery pack 300 of the present application includes the first battery module group 201, the second battery module group 202, and the third module group 203 arranged on the same layer by the bus bar 220, respectively. The first battery module group 201, the second battery module group 202, and the third module group 203 which are connected to each other and form the same loop among the same layers and arranged on different layers are respectively connected to the first connection. Since the member 410, the second connection member 420, and the third connection member are electrically connected to each other, the plurality of battery units 100 stacked up, down, left, and right may be electrically connected together.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom. Accordingly, the true scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical idea of the appended claims.
