1. A battery mounting structure for a vehicle, comprising:
a case having a first internal member disposed to be spaced parallel to an upper side of a lower panel of the case and a second internal member disposed perpendicular to the first internal member, and configured to accommodate a plurality of battery modules therein using the first internal member and the second internal member;
wherein the plurality of battery modules are disposed such that a stacking direction of battery cells is parallel to a longitudinal direction of the first internal member;
wherein an outer side of the case includes straight side portions formed linearly on both sides of the case in parallel with the second internal member;
wherein an outer side member is provided in a shape that protrudes from each of the straight side portions toward the outside of the case;
wherein the outer side member extends in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction of the battery cells to an extent that the outer side member at least overlaps the first internal member when at least viewed from a side of the battery mounting structure;
wherein a battery module is disposed with both ends in the direction perpendicular to the stacking direction of the battery cells fixed to the first internal member and wherein at least one of both ends in the stacking direction of the battery cells is supported by the second internal member;
wherein the second internal member has side wall portions for supporting surfaces of the battery cells disposed at the ends in the stacking direction of the battery cells of the battery module provided on both sides thereof, and an insertion space for inserting another object is disposed between the two side wall portions;
wherein a battery controller is inserted into the insertion space of the second internal member, and a connector of the battery controller is disposed toward an upper side of the second internal member; and
wherein the battery controller is fixed using an upper side surface of the second internal member.
