The first upper busbar 431 and the second upper busbar 432 may be covered by the pair of upper cover walls 462, and may be spaced apart from the first and second battery modules 200a and 200b. In this way, even when the upper busbar 430 is provided between the first battery module 200a and the second battery module 200b, a short circuit between the first and second battery modules 200a and 200b may be prevented.
Furthermore, the first upper busbar 431 and the second upper busbar 432 may be accommodated in an interior of the first upper accommodation groove 463, which is a space between the pair of upper cover walls 462. The first upper guide rib 464a and the upper partition wall 465 of the upper busbar frame 460 may space the first upper busbar 431 and the second upper busbar 432 apart from each other in the first direction (e.g., the leftward/rightward direction). According to the structure, it is possible to prevent a short circuit between the first upper busbar 431 and the second upper busbar 432.
In this way, even when the upper busbar 430 is disposed on an upper side of the side support wall 145, a short circuit of the first and second battery modules 200a and 200b may be prevented, and a short circuit between the first upper busbar 431 and the second upper busbars 432 may also be prevented.
According to this technology, because the busbar is disposed between the two adjacent battery modules, a short circuit that may occur in the interior of the battery pack may be prevented.
Furthermore, according to this technology, because the busbar may be supported more stably by the busbar frame, a structural stability of the battery pack may be improved.
In addition, according to this technology, because the first upper busbar and the second upper busbar or the first lower busbar and the second lower busbar may be disposed to be spaced apart from each other, a short circuit between the adjacent busbars may be prevented.
In addition, various effects that may be directly or indirectly recognized through the present disclosure may be provided.
