Recently, eco-friendly cars are attracting attention in the automobile industry due to eco-friendly issues.

There are many types of eco-friendly vehicles, but technology that uses batteries as a power source is considered a core technology.

Batteries mounted on vehicles typically consist of a combination of multiple cells.

Accordingly, the development of various devices that allow multiple cells to be stably combined is also in progress.

Among them, the end plate is one of the main components used to secure the battery cell module.

Conventional end plates have been made with a shape that can be combined depending on the shape, size, type, etc. of the battery cell module.

That is, the part of the conventional end plate connected to the battery cell module was fixed.

Therefore, the conventional end plate had the limitation that it could only be assembled specifically for certain types of battery cell modules.

Such conventional end plates are not suitable at a time when the types of eco-friendly vehicles are rapidly increasing and the types of battery cell modules are also becoming widely available.
