Abstract

In a conductor plate for a vehicle battery module, the vehicle battery module is adapted to accommodate a plurality of longitudinal battery cells. The battery cells are arranged in parallel with respect to their longitudinal axes, and each battery cell has a first end and an opposite second end with respect to its longitudinal axis. The conductor plate includes: a base part; and a plurality of longitudinal members. Each of the plurality of longitudinal members includes a first end and a second end, the first ends of the longitudinal members being connected to the base part, the base part and the plurality of longitudinal members being substantially arranged in a common plane. The longitudinal members are arranged spaced from each other such that an interval between two of the plurality of longitudinal members matches to an interval between two rows of the battery cells.
