Abstract: A battery unit includes the following elements: a battery module that includes a plurality of battery cells and a gas discharge opening for discharging gas jetted from each of the battery cells; and a gas discharge duct in communication with the gas discharge opening and discharging the gas to the outside of the battery module. The gas discharge duct includes at least one duct outlet of which cross-sectional area of the channel in the duct outlet or the sum of cross-sectional areas of the channel in the respective duct outlets is larger than a cross-sectional area of the channel on the upstream side in the flow direction of the gas. The gas discharge duct also includes a temperature reducing member that is fixed to the periphery of the duct outlet so as to block part of the channel and reduces the temperature of the gas going through gaps.

Abstract: A battery pack includes a battery stack having a plurality of prismatic batteries being stacked. The battery pack further includes a cooling plate extending in a stack direction of the prismatic batteries in the battery stack. The cooling plate includes a plurality of coolant passages and a plurality of grooves. The coolant passages extend in a perpendicular direction substantially perpendicular to the stack direction of the prismatic batteries, and allow a coolant to flow in the coolant passages. The grooves constitute heat conduction inhibitors configured to inhibit heat conduction in the stack direction of the prismatic batteries.

Abstract: A battery pack includes first and second battery modules arranged in a first direction. In the first battery module, a first heat transfer part and a first heat insulator are disposed between battery cells adjacent in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. In the second battery module, a second heat transfer part and a second heat insulator are disposed between battery cells adjacent in the second direction. The first heat transfer part constitutes a part of a heat transfer component that is put across and connected to both the first and the second battery modules. The first heat transfer part is connected to one of the battery cells in the first battery module so as to enable heat transfer. The second heat transfer part constitutes another part of the heat transfer component and is connected to one of the battery cells in the second battery module.

Abstract: A battery module includes: cells; and a battery holder made of a resin material that contains a filler in a resin matrix. In the resin material of the battery holder, the lower limit of the content of the filler is determined on the basis of the endothermic amount, and the upper limit of the content of the filler is determined on the basis of the viscosity. Another battery module includes: cylindrical cells; and a battery holder having a plurality of tubular first accommodation portions each having a substantially hexagonal hole and a plurality of tubular second accommodation portions each having a substantially polygonal (heptagonal or more) hole. In the battery holder, the first accommodation portions and second accommodation portions are arranged in a manner of log pile by sandwiching a first column including the first accommodation portions between second columns including the second accommodation portions.

Abstract: Battery pack (10) having a substantially sealed structure includes a plurality of cells (11-16) each having an opened portion provided in order to discharge an internal gas when an internal pressure rises. Non-resettable pressure switch (30, 31) that is connected to controller (50) by a signal line. The pressure switch changes irreversibly from a significant state to a non-significant state when a pressure in battery pack (10) is greater than a predetermined pressure threshold value.
