A plurality of cells (1a to 1j) are abutted against each other and electrically connected on the short sides of rectangular battery housings (2), and binding plates ( 14, 14) disposed on both long sides are tied together with binding bands (13) to integrally link the cells (1a to 1j). Because the h
A plurality of cells (1a to 1j) are abutted against each other and electrically connected on the short sides of rectangular battery housings (2), and binding plates ( 14, 14) disposed on both long sides are tied together with binding bands (13) to integrally link the cells (1a to 1j). Because the heat radiation conditions are equalized among the cells (1a to 1j), there is an extremely small temperature differential between the cells, charging efficiency, which varies with temperature conditions, is consistent, and there is no variance in battery capacity, so none of the cells are over-discharged, and battery life is extended.

The rechargeable battery according to claim 1, wherein ribs are formed on the sides of the battery housings or case, and the coolant is made to flow through the coolant passages which are formed between the ribs. 6. A rechargeable battery, comprising: cells; said cells including elements for electromotive force and each cell being formed in a rectangular shape having short skies with a narrow width, long sides with a wide width relative to the narrow width, a top side, and bottom side; said cells including coolant passages defined on said long sides in a vertical direction and coolant flowing in said coolant passages; and said cells including at least two groups of cells wherein the respective cells of each of the at least two groups form at least two battery modules wherein the cells form at least one row in which the cells are linked together adjacent to one another at the short sides in each of the at least two battery modules, the at least two battery modules being arranged in parallel with the long sides of the battery cells of the respective ones of the at least two battery modules adjacent one another, and the battery modifies being linked together to form a battery pack and the cells being electrically connected; and the cells of the at least two battery modules being clamped between a pair of binding places contacting the longs sides of the cells to form an outer side of said coolant passages and transfer hear to exterior air and to equalize heat distribution among the cells, and the cells are linked by binding the pair of binding plates together. 7. The rechargeable battery according to claim 6, further comprising a hear transfer plate provided between the battery modules disposed in parallel and contacting the longs sides of the cells to equalize heat distribution among the cells. 8. The rechargeable battery according to claim 6, further comprising a heat transfer plate provided between the battery modules disposed in parallel and contacting the longs sides of the cells to equalize heat distribution among the cells, and end heat transfer plates exposed to the outside linked to ends of the heat transfer place in the direction in which the battery modules are linked. 9. The rechargeable battery according to claim 8, wherein the coolant is made to flow through the heat transfer plate and/or the end heat transfer plates. 10. The rechargeable battery according to claim 7, wherein the coolant is made to flow through the heat transfer plate and/or the end heat transfer plates. 11. The rechargeable battery according to claim 6, wherein the cells are linked together with the elements for electromotive force of each cell provided inside a battery case and the battery cases are integrally linked together. 12. The rechargeable battery according to claim 6, wherein the cells are integrally linked with linking positions and linking directions varied as desired. 13. The rechargeable battery according to claim 6, wherein ribs are formed on the sides of the battery housings or case, and the coolant is made to flow through the coolant passages which are formed between the ribs.
