- the electrode terminal coupling between the battery cells and the unit modules is in series, and the electrode lead connecting portion 150 formed of a single member is bent in a cross-sectional shape in a cross-section to form a module assembly.
- the outer electrode terminals 320 and 321 of the unit modules 200 and 201 are bent in a '-' shape in a cross-section toward the inside in a state protruding slightly from the other electrode lead connecting portion 150.
- the battery assembly according to the present invention comprises the electrode terminal of the first battery cell and the electrode terminal of the second battery cell as a single member in the series or parallel connection between the battery cells, the electrode terminals mutually
- the number of welding processes is greatly reduced, and the bonding force of the electrode terminals can be stably maintained even when external force is generated by external shock or vibration.
- the secondary battery according to the present invention can maintain the bonding force of the electrode terminals even if the external force generated during assembly or use of the battery pack is transferred to the electrode terminals.
