Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A battery module includes: a plurality of battery cells each including a metal layer and a heat seal layer, the plurality of battery cells having a laminate film in which an electrode body is accommodated and a heat seal layer in a peripheral edge portion is joined; a case in which the battery cells are accommodated in a state of being laminated in a thickness direction; and a heat conductive member provided on an inner wall of the case so as to be in contact with the metal layer exposed from the peripheral edge portion and configured to dissipate heat from the battery cells.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A battery module comprising: a plurality of battery cells each including a laminate film including a metal layer and a heat seal layer, housing an electrode body, and obtained by joining portions of the heat seal layer at a peripheral edge; a case in which the battery cells are housed while being stacked in a thickness direction; and a heat conductive member provided on an inner wall of the case in contact with the metal layer exposed from the peripheral edge and configured to dissipate heat from the battery cell. 2 . The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein: the inner wall of the case includes a plurality of recesses each configured to house the peripheral edge and the heat conductive member; and the metal layer exposed from the peripheral edge is in contact with the heat conductive member inside the recess. 3 . The battery module according to claim 2 , wherein the peripheral edges of two of the battery cells that are adjacent to each other are housed in each of the recesses. 4 . The battery module according to claim 3 , wherein distal end surfaces of the peripheral edges housed in the recess are positioned on the same plane. 5 . The battery module according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the metal layer of the battery cell housed in the case is larger near a center in a stacking direction than near both ends in the stacking direction.
