Patent ID: 8808885

Claim:
A battery module comprising: two or more battery cells, each battery cell having electrode terminals formed at one end or opposite ends thereof, the battery cells being stacked in a state in which the battery cells are electrically connected to each other, wherein the electrode terminals of the battery cells are formed of plate-shaped conductive members, wherein the electrode terminals of the battery cells are folded such that the electrode terminals are in tight contact with each other to form a bent connection part at an electrical connection region between the battery cells, wherein a voltage sensing member is mounted to the bent connection part to surround the bent connection part, wherein the battery cells are stacked so that the bent connection part is perpendicular to the ground, and wherein the voltage sensing member comprises: a main body part configured to surround an upper end of the bent connection part; an elastic connection part contacting a side of the bent connection part and the main body part; and a wire connection part extending from a top of the main body part.
