Abstract

A safety apparatus of a battery module for a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes cell terminals disposed in battery cells disposed in a row. A safety bus bar electrically connects two cell terminals disposed diagonally in two battery cells adjacent to each other among the battery cells. In addition, the safety bus bar maintains the electrical connection when the battery cells are not expanded and opens a circuit to prevent electricity from flowing when at least one battery cell is expanded.
