1. A battery module, comprising:
a battery cell assembly having a plurality of battery cells;
a top plate configured to cover an upper side of the battery cell assembly;
a bottom plate disposed opposite to the top plate and configured to cover a lower side of the battery cell assembly;
a sensing assembly disposed at a front side and a rear side of the bottom plate and at a front side and a rear side of the top plate to cover a front side and a rear side of the battery cell assembly;
a pair of side plates coupled to the sensing assembly, the top plate and the bottom plate and disposed at side surfaces, respectively, of the battery cell assembly; and
a pair of compression pads disposed between the pair of side plates and the battery cell assembly, respectively, wherein a side surface of each of the pair of compression pads is substantially the same size as the side surfaces of the battery cell assembly,
wherein the sensing assembly includes:
a first bus bar unit disposed at the front side of the battery cell assembly and coupled to the pair of side plates;
a second bus bar unit disposed opposite to the first bus bar unit and coupled to the pair of side plates at the rear side of the battery cell assembly; and
wherein the first bus bar unit and the second bus bar unit are coupled to the pair of side plates by at least one coupling pin.
