Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A secondary battery module includes a plurality of secondary batteries each including an electrode assembly, a case accommodating the electrode assembly, and electrode terminals electrically connected to the electrode assembly and extending outward from the case, and a bus bar that electrically connects neighboring electrode terminals of the plurality of secondary batteries. The bus bar includes a first part including penetration holes through which the electrode terminals penetrate such that the bus bar is fastenable to the electrode terminals and a second part extending from the first part, the second part being bent to face the first part.

What is claimed is: 1. A secondary battery module, comprising: a plurality of secondary batteries each including an electrode assembly, a case accommodating the electrode assembly, and electrode terminals electrically connected to the electrode assembly and extending outward from the case; and a bus bar that electrically connects neighboring electrode terminals of the plurality of secondary batteries, wherein the bus bar includes: a first part including penetration holes through which the electrode terminals penetrate such that the bus bar is fastenable to the electrode terminals; and a second part extending from the first part, the second part being bent to face the first part and not overlapping the penetration holes. 2. A secondary battery module, comprising: a plurality of secondary batteries each including an electrode assembly, a case accommodating the electrode assembly, and electrode terminals electrically connected to the electrode assembly and extending outward from an outer surface of the case; and a bus bar that electrically connects neighboring electrode terminals of the plurality of secondary batteries, wherein the bus bar includes: a first part including penetration holes through which the electrode terminals penetrate such that the bus bar is fastenable to the electrode terminals; and a second part extending from the first part, the second part being bent to face the first part, and wherein a distance from the outer surface of the case to an outer side of the second part is greater than a distance from the outer surface of the case to an outer side of the first part, and wherein the second part does not overlap the penetration holes. 3. A secondary battery module, comprising: a plurality of secondary batteries each including an electrode assembly, a case accommodating the electrode assembly, and electrode terminals electrically connected to the electrode assembly and extending outward from an outer surface of the case; and a bus bar that electrically connects neighboring electrode terminals of the plurality of secondary batteries, wherein the bus bar includes: a first part including penetration holes through which the electrode terminals penetrate such that the bus bar is fastenable to the electrode terminals; and a second part extending from the first part, the second part being bent to face the first part, wherein a distance from the outer surface of the case to an outer side of the second part is greater than a distance from the outer surface of the case to an outer side of the first part, and wherein a distance from an inner side of the bus bar to an outer side of the bus bar at a region thereof that includes the second part is greater than a distance from the inner side of the bus bar to the outer side of the bus bar at a region thereof that includes the penetration holes. 4. The secondary battery module as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the second part has a T-shape or H-shape. 5. The secondary battery module as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the first part and the second part have a same thickness. 6. The secondary battery module as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the bus bar is fastenable to the electrode terminals using nuts. 7. The secondary battery module as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the secondary batteries are connected in series or parallel with each other through the bus bar.
