BATTERY MODULE HAVING STRUCTURE BREAKING CONNECTOR BY USING VENTING GAS

A battery module has a cell stack including a first battery cell and a second battery cell, which respectively have electrode leads and are stacked to face each other. A connector configured to connect the electrode leads of the pair of battery cells. A support frame provided to at least one side of the cell stack and having a pair of lead slits at which the electrode leads are drawn and an injection slit formed at a location corresponding to the connector to give a passage through which a venting gas discharged at venting of the battery cell is injected.
