BATTERY MODULE, METHOD FOR PROVIDING MONITORING FUNCTIONALITY FOR THE SAME, BATTERY SYSTEM AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE

A battery module includes: a plurality of battery cells; a busbar contacting the plurality of battery cells; a thermally and electrically conductive bushing thermally and electrically connected to the busbar; and a circuit board fixed to the bushing by a fixation element such that the bushing spaces the circuit board from the busbar. The circuit board includes: a temperature sensor in thermal contact with the busbar through the bushing; and a voltage signal line in electrical contact with the busbar through the bushing.
