Battery module
First Claim
1. A battery module for coupling with an adjacent battery module, the battery module comprising:
- a battery array including at least two battery cells that are stacked, the battery cells each including a terminal surface, where an electrode and a vent are exposed, and an opposite bottom side; and
an end plate disposed at the terminal surface of the stacked battery cells and including an electrode hole, through which the electrode is outwardly exposed, a first coupling unit on one side of the end plate, and a second coupling unit on another side of the end plate, wherein the second coupling unit is configured to be coupled with another first coupling unit of an end plate of the adjacent battery module.

Abstract
A battery module includes a battery array and an end plate. The battery array includes at least two battery cells that are stacked, the battery cells including a terminal surface where an electrode and a vent are exposed and an opposite bottom side. The end plate is disposed at the terminal surface of the stacked battery cells and includes an electrode hole through which the electrode is exposed. a first coupling unit including an alignment protrusion is disposed on one side of the end plate, and a second coupling unit including an accommodation unit is disposed on an opposite side of the end plate. The accommodation unit of the second coupling unit is configured to be coupled with an alignment protrusion of a first coupling unit of an end plate of an adjacent battery module.
