Abstract

A battery module includes a battery column, a heat insulation pad and a side plate. The battery column includes a plurality of batteries, and the batteries are arranged in a first direction. The heat insulation pad is disposed between two adjacent batteries in the battery column. The side plate is disposed on a side surface of the battery column and extends in the first direction. At least one heat-resistant region is disposed on the side plate and corresponds to a position of the heat insulation pad. The heat-resistant region is any one of a through hole, a blind hole, and a notch or a combination of two or more of the foregoing communicated with each other. At least a portion of an orthographic projection of the heat insulation pad on the side plate is disposed within the heat-resistant region.
