Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of battery, and discloses an integrated bus bar element for a battery, a battery and a vehicle; wherein the integrated bus bar element comprises a bus bar (20, 20a, 20b), and a plurality of branch bars (28a-28j) for electrical connection to battery cells (10, 10a, 10b) respectively, and the bus bar (20, 20a, 20b) and the branch bars (28a-28j) are made of a single conductor and integrally formed as a single piece. The integrated bus bar element of the present disclosure eliminates the connection points between the bus bar and the branch bars, a step of connecting the bus bar and the branch bars is not required to be implemented during the battery assembly, thus the reliability and assembly convenience of the battery are greatly improved.
