Battery module used for storing energy for driving plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, has battery cells that are composed of cell terminals, among which adjacent cell terminals are clamped using electrically conductive contact

摘要

The battery module (1) is composed of several battery cells (2). Each battery cell has housing that is composed of cell terminals (3,4) that are arranged side by side in such a manner to form two parallel rows (5,6) having combination of cell terminals (3,4). A first cell terminal in two parallel rows is electrically and conductively contacted with each other. An electrically conductive contact (7) is formed by clamping adjacent cell terminals in the row.
