The present disclosure relates to a battery module suitable for minimizing increase in overall volume due to increased capacity and simplifying the connection structure of the battery cells, by surrounding battery cells with a battery receiving unit and a battery cover as substitutes for cartridges. The battery module of the present disclosure includes a battery receiving unit including, within a receiving housing, a receiving groove and a receiving structure having a zigzag shape on a receiving sidewall and surrounding the receiving groove, battery cells partially received in the receiving groove and contacted with the receiving structure, and including electrode leads protruded from the receiving housing; and a battery cover including a seating groove formed within a seating housing and open to the receiving groove for seating the battery cells, and a seating structure having a zigzag shape on a seating sidewall surrounding the seating groove, in which the seating housing covers the receiving groove of the receiving housing and is penetrated with the electrode leads.
