Abstract
A battery pack includes a housing having a bottom surface and a top surface and a battery assembly in the housing. The battery assembly includes structural reinforcing members and cell sequences formed by connecting multiple cells. An outer surface of the cell includes a bottom surface, a top surface, first and second lateral surfaces. The bottom surface of the cell faces the bottom surface of the housing, and the top surface of the cell faces the top surface of the housing. The first lateral surface has a largest area. The multiple cells are arranged with second lateral surfaces thereof facing each other to form a cell sequence, and the structural reinforcing members are fixedly bonded with first lateral surfaces of cells in the cell sequence. The battery assembly is supported in the housing by the bottom surface of the housing.
