A battery pack is compos d of a plurality of battery modules, holding brackets, a tubular cover, and a fan. The battery module is composed of a plurality of sealed rechargeable batteries having a metal case, which are arranged in a row and integrally connected in series. The plurality of battery modules are arranged in parallel, and the holding brackets hold both ends of the battery modules in a direction perpendicular to a parallel direction. The tubular cover forms a coolant path by surrounding the periphery of the battery modules. The fan supplies coolant to the inside of the coolant path. In the battery pack with above structure, increase in the height thereof is prevented.

On the opposite end walls of a flat, prismatic battery case of a battery module where electrode terminals are attached, protruding components are formed such as to protrude further than the electrode terminals. Terminal holes are formed in the end walls in which the electrode terminals are fitted, and the thickness of the end walls of the integral battery case in the vicinity of the terminal holes is not the same on both sides of each of the terminal holes. Also, one or a plurality of vertical and horizontal ribs are formed on the end walls between the electrode terminals and the protruding components. Further, a sealing structure is included for a battery.

An object is to provide a battery pack which can restrict movements of battery a module and a spacer even after use for a long period. A battery pack 100 comprises a plurality of battery modules 110, a plurality of holding spacers 130 each being placed in a space between the battery modules, and a first and second spacer support members 160, 170 which hold the holding spacers 130 in a vertical direction Z. Each holding spacer 130 includes a plurality of first elastic members 143 and a plurality of second elastic members 145 which protrude in the vertical direction Z. The holding spacer 130 is elastically held between the first and second spacer support members 160, 170 while the first and second elastic members 143, 145 are elastically deformed into elastic pressure contact with the first and second spacer support members 160, 170.
摘要:
A nickel-metal hydride storage battery is provided capable of suppressing changes in discharge reserve and charge reserve of a negative electrode to prevent lowering of battery characteristics for a long term. A nickel-metal hydride storage battery 100 of the present invention comprises a battery main part (an electrode plate group 150, an electrolyte, and others), a case 102 housing this battery main part, and a safety valve device 101. The safety valve device 101 includes a valve member 110 of a closed-end substantially cylindrical shape. This nickel-metal hydride storage battery 100 is arranged such that a hydrogen leak rate V1 (μl/h/Ah) of the battery having been charged and discharged and then charged to 60% SOC satisfies a relationship: 2≦V1≦4, the hydrogen leak rate being per unit of battery capacity under an atmosphere at a battery temperature of 45° C., and a reduced pressure of 10 kPa.
摘要:
An electrode plate group is accommodated together with liquid electrolyte in a metal case having an oval or rectangular cross section. The open end of the case is sealed by a metal sealing plate, with an insulation gasket fitted between the case and the sealing plate. The electrode plate group is constructed with a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate wound around with a separator interposed therebetween. Core materials of respective plates are protruded to opposite sides to form a positive electrode end face and a negative electrode end face at either end of the electrode plate group. The winding axis of the electrode plates is vertical to the open end of the case, and the positive and negative electrode end faces are respectively connected to the sealing plate and the bottom face of the case in direct or indirect surface contact therewith.
