Abstract
Disclosed herein is a voltage sensing member for sensing voltages of battery cells constituting a battery module, the voltage sensing member including (a) a pair of supporting parts, i.e., a front supporting part and a rear supporting part, mounted to a bottom of the battery module at regions (a front part and a rear part of the battery module) corresponding to electrode terminal connections of the battery cells, (b) a connection part for electrically interconnecting the front supporting part and the rear supporting part, (c) conductive sensing parts having one-side ends coupled to the corresponding supporting parts via wires, each of the conductive sensing parts having a larger contact surface than each of the wires, and (d) a connector mounted on the front supporting part or the rear supporting part for transmitting the sensed voltages of the battery cells to a battery control device, wherein the conductive sensing parts are connected to the electrode terminal connections of the battery cells in a surface contact manner.
