At least a portion of the first protrusion 312 of the first support 31 is located within the first recess 121 of the housing 10, so that the internal shape of the housing 10 conforms to the shape of the battery cell assembly 20 and the first support 31, which helps to reduce the number of connecting parts between the housing 10 and the battery cell assembly 20 and between the housing 10 and the first support 31, improves the assembly efficiency of the battery pack 100, and saves the assembly cost of the battery pack 100.

[0198] like Figure 17 As shown, embodiments of this application also provide an electrical device 200, including the battery pack 100 of any of the foregoing.

[0199] In the above power equipment 200, the battery cell 21 in the battery pack 100 is connected to the first support 31 by being located in the first receiving portion 311 of the first support 31 and by being located in the second recess 122 of the shell 10, and at least part of the first protrusion 312 of the first support 31 is located in the first recess 121 of the shell 10, so that the internal shape of the shell 10 is matched with the battery cell assembly 20 and the first support 31, which is beneficial to reduce the number of connecting parts between the shell 10 and the battery cell assembly 20 and between the shell 10 and the first support 31, improve the assembly efficiency of the battery pack 100, save the assembly cost of the battery pack 100, and reduce the influence of the assembly cost of the battery pack 100 on the power equipment 200.

[0200] In an embodiment, the power equipment 200 includes, but is not limited to, any one of a drone, an electric scooter, an electric tool, and a robot.

[0201] In addition, those skilled in the art can make other changes within the spirit of the present application, and of course, these changes made according to the spirit of the present application should be included in the scope disclosed by the present application.
