Battery pack with protective circuit board and electric bicycle including the battery pack
View Patent ↗To provide a battery pack that is less likely to be affected by vibrations, shocks and the like and has a stable characteristic, and an electric bicycle that uses the battery pack. A battery pack includes: a battery protective member having a first plate section and a second plate section which is integrally connected to both edge portions of a width direction of the first plate section and extends substantially in a direction perpendicular to both surfaces of the first plate section, wherein the flat batteries are placed on the first plate section; and a protective circuit board. A moistureproof film for the protective circuit board is formed using a plurality of film forming materials different in viscosity, hardness, and thixotropic properties.
1. A battery pack comprising: a battery connecting structure on which a plurality of flat batteries are placed; and a protective circuit board that protects the flat batteries during charging and discharging of the flat batteries, a film formation for the protective circuit board being made using a plurality of film forming materials different in viscosity, hardness, and thixotropic properties, wherein circuit components implemented on the protective circuit board include: a circuit component having a highest height from the board and having a surface covered only with a first hardening resin, and a circuit component having a surface covered only with a second hardening resin whose viscosity, hardness, and thixotropic properties are lower than those of the first hardening resin.
2. The battery pack according claim 1 , wherein
the battery connecting structure includes a battery protective member having a first plate section and a second plate section which is integrally connected to both edge portions of a width direction of the first plate section and extends substantially in a direction perpendicular to both surfaces of the first plate section, wherein
the flat batteries are placed on the first plate section.
3. The battery pack according to claim 2 , wherein
a surface on which the flat batteries are placed is formed on both surfaces of the first plate section.
4. The battery pack according to claim 3 , wherein
a flat-plate surface of the flat battery is put on the first plate section.
5. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein
the flat batteries are film-covered batteries.
6. An electric bicycle comprising the battery pack as claimed in claim 1 .
