That is, unlike the comparative example, in this embodiment, the portion of the lead film 400 that is not sealed by the first sealing portion 251 is in direct contact with the gas in the battery cell 100, so that the lead film ( 400) can be easily separated from the gas discharge guide part 450. That is, the present embodiment has an advantage in that the gas discharge path can be formed more easily, and thus the gas discharge performance can be further improved.
- a battery module according to another embodiment of the present invention includes the battery cell described above. Meanwhile, one or more of the battery modules according to the present embodiment may be packaged in a pack case to form a battery pack.
- the battery module described above and the battery pack including the battery module may be applied to various devices. Such devices may be applied to means of transportation such as electric bicycles, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto and is applicable to various devices capable of using a battery module and a battery pack including the same, which is also applicable to the present invention. Belongs to the scope of the right of invention.
