The invention discloses a soft
package lithium ion battery module for an
electric vehicle. The soft
package lithium ion battery module comprises soft
package lithium ion battery units, a bottom plate, an upper cover and fastening bolts, wherein each soft package
lithium ion battery unit comprises a soft package
lithium ion battery and a heat radiating plate, the heat radiating plate is basically in a rectangular structure, and is composed of at least one basically rectangular box body, one slot extends from each of end parts of three side surfaces of the box body, the soft package
lithium ion battery is arranged in the box body of the heat radiating plate, and the soft package lithium ion battery and the box body integrally form the soft package lithium ion battery unit, and at least two soft package lithium ion battery units are overlapped along the vertical direction and are fixedly installed between the bottom plate and the upper cover through the fastening bolts to form the soft package lithium ion battery module. The battery units can be flexibly expanded to bring the convenience for arrangement. Slots of adjacent heat radiating plates form an air duct, thus the heat
radiation of each battery is facilitated. The soft package lithium ion battery module provided by the invention is compact in structure, convenient to maintain and easy to expand, has a function of protecting the batteries, is convenient to electrically connect, and good in heat
radiation property because the battery units are mutually isolated. The soft package lithium ion battery module has a remarkable function for prolonging the service life and improving the
energy density of a
lithium battery pack of the
electric vehicle, and is suitable for industrialized production.
