Abstract

Disclosed are a battery pack and an energy storage device. The battery pack includes a box, a battery module, a liquid cooling plate, a connection valve, a liquid supply pipe and a protection structure. The box is provided with an accommodation cavity and a mounting hole communicating with the accommodation cavity. The battery module is provided in the accommodation cavity. The liquid cooling plate is provided in the accommodation cavity and configured for cooling the battery module. The connection valve is provided in the mounting hole, and one end of the connection valve located outside the accommodation cavity is configured for connecting to a cooling cabinet. The liquid supply pipe is communicated with the liquid cooling plate and one end of the connection valve facing the accommodation cavity. The protection structure is detachably provided in the box, is located outside the accommodation cavity, and covers the connection valve.
