| 20110008657 | Z-TYPE BATTERY PACK FOR VEHICLE - A flux of cooling gas passing between battery cells is kept uniformly, and accordingly a maximum temperature of the battery cells and temperature variation among the battery cells are greatly decreased. Thus, a life span of a battery pack is greatly elongated, and the possibility of explosion of the battery pack is eliminated. | 01-13-2011 |

| 20110076531 | VOLTAGE SENSING MEMBER AND BATTERY MODULE EMPLOYED WITH THE SAME - Disclosed herein is a battery module configured in a structure in which two or more battery cells, each of which has electrode terminals formed at one end or opposite ends thereof, are stacked in a state in which the battery cells are electrically connected to each other, wherein the electrode terminals of the battery cells are formed of plate-shaped conductive members, the electrode terminals of the battery cells are folded such that the electrode terminals are in tight contact with each other to form a bent connection part at an electrical connection region between the battery cells, and the bent connection part is surrounded by a voltage sensing member mounted to the bent connection part. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110129716 | U-TYPE BATTERY PACK FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A battery pack for an electric vehicle has a cooling structure in which a coolant introduced through a first cooling channel cools cells and is then discharged through a second cooling channel. The cooling structure has a U-type structure in which the coolant is introduced and discharged in opposite directions. An entrance of the first cooling channel and an exit of the second cooling channel satisfy an equation in relation to an entrance flow rate and an exit flow rate. Since the temperature deviation among cells is set very small, the life of a battery pack may be elongated. Also, since a ratio of an exit area to an entrance area of a cooling channel may be quantitatively calculated according to an equation, it becomes very easy to design a battery pack. | 06-02-2011 |
