A battery pack includes: a plurality of secondary batteries; a housing for containing the secondary batteries; and at least one heat insulating layer for separating the secondary batteries from one another. The at least one heat insulating layer includes a foam material capable of foaming at a first predetermined temperature of 110° C. or more and less than 200° C. When the foam material foams, gas bubbles are produced in the heat insulating layer, so that the thickness of the heat insulating layer increases. The battery pack thus has excellent safety, exhibiting a high heat insulation effect in the event of abnormal heat generation of the batteries.

Disclosed is a battery pack including a battery and a cooling member for cooling the battery. The cooling member includes a coolant and a container enclosing the coolant. The container is capable of having a releasing port for releasing the coolant at a first temperature of 100° C. or more. The cooling member is arranged at a position that allows the coolant released from the releasing port of the container to spread on a principal surface of the battery. The coolant may include water, a surfactant, and a metallic soap. The coolant may further include a foaming accelerator capable of foaming at a temperature of 100° C. or more.

A battery pack includes a plurality of batteries 12, and a pack case 13 containing the batteries 12. An electrode group is placed in a battery case 11, and an opening of the battery case 11 is sealed by a sealing plate 9. A first internal lead 6 electrically connected to one of positive and negative electrodes is connected to an inner bottom surface of the battery case 11. A second internal lead electrically connected to the other one of the positive and negative electrodes is connected to the sealing plate. The first internal lead 6 is arranged near an inner side surface of the battery case 11. Each of the batteries 12 is arranged in the pack case 13 with part of an outer side surface of the battery case 11 corresponding to the first internal lead 6 facing the inner side surface of the pack case 13.

A battery pack includes: a plurality of batteries; a housing for containing the batteries; and at least one partition plate for separating the batteries from one another. The at least one partition plate includes a metal mesh and a heat insulating layer disposed on each side of the metal mesh. The heat insulating layer includes a foam material capable of foaming at a temperature of 110° C. or more and 200° C. or less, so that the thickness of the heat insulating layer increases when the foam material foams. Even when one of the batteries contained in the battery pack generates abnormal heat, the conduction of the heat to other batteries can be effectively suppressed.
