BATTERY MODULE HAVING PARTITION WALL AND THERMAL INSULATION LAYER FOR FIRE INHIBITION

The present invention relates to a battery module having a partition wall and a thermal insulation layer for thermal runaway prevention, and more particularly to a battery module configured such that a cell module assembly including two or more cell stacks, in each of which a plurality of battery cells is stacked in a vertical direction, is received in a space portion defined in a protective case and such that one more partition walls are provided in at least one of between neighboring ones of the cell stacks and between the cell stacks and the protective case.
