Abstract

A battery module including wire-fixing ribs is disclosed. The battery module includes a battery cell stack constituted by a plurality of battery cells, the battery cell stack being configured such that the battery cells are stacked in the state in which the battery cells are adjacent to each other laterally, the battery cell stack being provided in one end thereof with a step part, a first module cover and a second module cover coupled to each other while covering electrode terminals provided on opposite sides of the battery cell stack, terminal plates for electrically connecting electrode terminals of the battery cells to each other, a battery management system (BMS) mounted in the step part of the battery cell stack for controlling the operation of the battery module, and voltage sensing wires arranged on the battery cell stack, each of the voltage sensing wires having one end connected to a corresponding one of voltage sensing terminals formed on portions of the terminal plates and the other end connected to the BMS.
