Rotatable Battery Pack
First Claim
1. A rotatable battery pack comprising:
- a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate disposed in parallel to each other and allowing a plurality of battery cells to be disposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate;
a casing enclosing the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate and having both ends opened so as to allow cooling air to flow in order to cool the plurality of battery cells;
a first terminal protruding from a center of the first electrode plate to an outside of the casing;
a second terminal protruding from a center of the second electrode plate to the outside of the casing in a direction opposite that of the first electrode; and
a driving motor driving the first electrode plate to rotate the plurality of battery cells,wherein the first terminal and the second terminal are formed on a rotation axis of the first electrode plate.

10. A method of rotating a battery pack surrounded by a casing having an inlet and an outlet, the method comprising:
-
inletting air into the casing through the inlet to cool the battery pack; discharging air out of the casing through the outlet; determining an outlet temperature of the outlet discharging the air; and rotating the battery pack if determined that the outlet temperature is above a predetermined temperature. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
