Abstract

A battery pack is provided. The battery pack includes an exterior case and an article of an electric system including a battery. The article is configured to be accommodated in the exterior case. The article of the electric system is coated with a thin film coating agent. The article of the electric system includes the battery, a circuit board, and an electrode tab configured to electrically connect the battery or connect between the battery and the circuit board.

Claims (30)

1. A battery pack comprising:

an exterior case; and

an article of an electric system including a battery,

wherein the article is configured to be accommodated in the external case,

wherein the article of the electric system is coated with a thin film coating agent, and

wherein the coating agent includes a silane-based glass coating agent, a polysilazane-based glass coating agent or a glass fiber-based coating agent.

2. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the article of the electric system includes the battery, a circuit board, and an electrode tab configured to electrically connect the battery or connect between the battery and the circuit board.

3. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the coating agent includes a fluororesin coating agent.

4. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein viscosity of the coating agent is less than or equal to 80 mP·s.

5. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein a film thickness of the coating agent ranges from 8 μm to 200 μm.

6. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the battery is configured to be held by a battery holder, and a rubber ring is provided between an inner wall of the battery holder and a positive electrode of the battery.

7. The battery pack according to claim 6 , wherein the vibration-proof material includes vibration-proof rubber.

8. The battery pack according to claim 1 , further comprising a vibration-proof material interposed between an inner surface of the exterior case and the battery holder,

wherein the battery is configured to be held by a battery holder.

9. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein an opening is provided in the exterior case.

10. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the coating agent is obtained by dissolving any one of acrylic, urethane, rubber and silicon resins in an organic solvent.

11. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the coating agent includes a film configured to be formed by polymerization or crosslinking by any one of reactions of UV irradiation, moisture curing, and two-liquid mixing.

12. An electronic device comprising the battery pack according to claim 1 as a power supply source.

13. An electrically driven vehicle comprising:

the battery pack according to claim 1 ;
