1. A battery pack, comprising:
- at least one secondary battery including;
an electrode assembly;
a case accommodating the electrode assembly; and
a collecting terminal electrically connected to the electrode assembly and protruding out of the case, the collecting terminal having a positive collecting terminal and a negative collecting terminal;
a support member supporting a bottom portion of the secondary battery;
a cover member including a first through hole and a second through hole through which the positive collecting terminal and the negative collecting terminal pass, respectively, and surrounding an upper portion of the secondary battery;
an energy generator between the bottom portion of the secondary battery and the support member and to generate electrical energy, the energy generator having a positive contact point and a negative contact point; and
an energy supplier to supply the electrical energy generated from the energy generator to the secondary battery, the energy supplier having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, whereina first conductive line electrically couples the positive contact point of the energy generator with the positive terminal of the energy supplier and a second conductive line electrically couples the negative contact point of the energy generator with the negative terminal of the energy supplier.
