Disclosed herein is a case which protects a plurality of flexible lithium
polymer unit cells, has a compact structure to reduce volume, has a
simple assembly process, and minimizes heat generated during a high-power
charging or discharging operation. The battery case includes a pouch
support frame to support a pouch of a unit cell having the pouch and
electrode terminals. A heat radiating part having the shape of a shelf is
provided on a surface of the pouch support frame, and defines a space for
dispersing heat generated from the pouch. A terminal support having the
shape of a wall is provided on an edge of the heat radiating part, thus
supporting the electrode terminals of the unit cell.
