- the temperature control plate is arranged in the middle of the two bare cells and contacts the large surface of the bare cells, so that the temperature control method of the battery cell 100 is changed from the traditional bottom temperature control to the large surface temperature control of the battery cell 100, which increases the heat exchange area, avoids the problem of uneven heat dissipation of the battery cell 100, and achieves the temperature control effect of balanced upper and lower temperatures in the height direction.
- the serpentine flow channel in the temperature control plate also increases the heat exchange time between the temperature control fluid and each large surface of the bare cell, further improving the heat exchange effect.
- the designed shell 400 can change the number and size of the bare cell accommodating cavity 450 and the temperature control plate, and the shell 400 can be die-cast, so the size, shape and fine structure inside the flow channel can be flexibly changed by changing the die-casting mold, so that the shell 400 has high flexibility and adaptability.

- the battery module 10 and the electrical device 500 of the present application, the battery module 10 or the electrical device assembled with the above-mentioned battery cells 100 can achieve a longer service life, higher mass energy density and volume energy density due to better temperature regulation effect and more compact structure.
