Abstract
A battery pack includes first and second battery cells, a first duct, the first duct having an inlet at a first end and an inclined surface at a second end opposite the first end, and a main body, the main body being connected to the first duct and encompassing the first and second battery cells. The inclined surface may have a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge, the first edge being adjacent to the battery cells, the inclined surface being inclined such that the second edge is closer to the inlet than the first edge is, and a gap may be between the first and second battery cells, the gap providing a passage for a heat transfer medium to flow from the first duct between the first and second battery cells.
