Battery pack
A battery pack includes: a lower battery module; an upper battery module stacked vertically upwardly of the lower battery module; and a heating unit provided between the lower battery module and the upper battery module, the heating unit being configured to heat the lower battery module and the upper battery module. The heating unit includes a heating line disposed at a position closer to the lower battery module relative to the upper battery module in a stacking direction of the lower battery module and the upper battery module. According to such a configuration, there can be provided a battery pack in which temperature variation is suppressed between battery modules stacked upwardly/downwardly.
1. A battery pack comprising:
a first battery module;
a second battery module stacked vertically upwardly of the first battery module; and
a heating unit provided between the first battery module and the second battery module, the heating unit being configured to heat the first battery module and the second battery module,
the heating unit including a heat generator disposed at a position closer to the first battery module relative to the second battery module in a stacking direction of the first battery module and the second battery module, wherein
a heat insulating layer is provided between the second battery module and the heating unit, and
a thermal resistive member composed of a nonwoven fabric or a heat insulator is provided between the heat generator and the heat insulating layer.
2. The battery pack according to claim 1 , further comprising a spacer between the second battery module and the heating unit to form an air layer between the second battery module and the heating unit.
3. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the heating unit has a sheet shape having a thickness direction corresponding to the stacking direction of the first battery module and the second battery module.
4. The battery pack according to claim 3 , wherein the heating unit further includes a thermally conductive film disposed between the heat generator and the first battery module in the stacking direction of the first battery module and the second battery module.
5. The battery pack according to claim 3 , wherein
the heating unit further includes a frame body provided along a circumferential edge of the heating unit, and
the first battery module and the second battery module are provided to interpose the frame body therebetween in the stacking direction of the first battery module and the second battery module.
