Preferably, the heating film corresponds to each battery pack one by one, and further, the area of the surface of the heating film facing the side of the reinforcing member may be the same as the area of the bottom of the battery pack (i.e., the orthographic projection of the bottom of the battery pack on the heating film completely overlaps with the heating film).
Thus, the heating efficiency of the heating film can be improved, and the waste of heat can be avoided.
When the heating device is specifically implemented, the heating film can be set according to actual needs, so that the flexibility of design is improved, and the requirements of different application scenes are met.
Mode 2:

Therefore, only one heating film needs to be bonded on the reinforcing part, and a plurality of heating films do not need to be bonded, so that the manufacturing process becomes simple and easy to operate, and the manufacturing process of the battery pack is simplified.
When the heating device is specifically implemented, the heating film can be set according to actual needs, so that the flexibility of design is improved, and the requirements of different application scenes are met.
Secondly, the bottom plate is arranged as follows:
