1. A battery pack comprising:

  • a battery cell having a first electrode terminal and a second electrode terminal;

    a protection circuit module (PCM) comprising a protection circuit board (PCB), at which a safety element is mounted, the PCB having a protection circuit, and connection members (A and B) connected respectively to the first and second electrode terminals of the battery cell;

    an electrically insulative pack frame configured to have a structure in which the battery cell is mounted in the pack frame, the pack frame having an insulative mounting part, at a top of which the PCB is mounted, the insulative mounting part integrally formed with the pack frame and forming a top wall of the pack frame;

    an electrically insulative top cap mounted at a top of the battery cell while surrounding the PCM;

    an electromagnetic induction type charging coil mounted at at least one main surface of the battery cell, the charging coil being connected to the PCM; and

    a shielding member interposed between the battery cell and the charging coil,wherein an end of the charging coil is coupled to the PCM by welding or soldering,wherein an electrode assembly of a cathode/separator/anode structure is provided in a battery case together with an electrolyte in a sealed state,wherein the first electrode terminal and the second electrode terminal are formed at an upper end of the battery case,wherein the top cap is coupled to the pack frame by engagement between a fastening groove and a fastening protrusion, andwherein the top cap is provided with a downward extension part having at least one fastening groove, and the insulative mounting part of the pack frame is provided at an outside thereof with at least one fastening protrusion corresponding to the fastening groove.
