Abstract:
Disclosed is a vehicle battery unit cooling structure in a vehicle having a window towards the rear, which, in cases in which, by chance, an intake vent is blocked, cools by taking in cooling air from an emergency intake vent and supplying the air to a battery, and which is capable of preventing the deterioration of battery characteristics and adverse effects on battery life. The vehicle battery unit cooling structure supplies the air within the vehicle interior (5) to the battery unit as cooling air by means of an intake duct (12) extending from an intake-side opening (13) to the battery unit (11), wherein the cooling structure is equipped with a main intake vent (20) that is covered by an intake grill (19) and disposed in the window frame (17) of a side lining (15) and an auxiliary intake vent (30) that is disposed in a section joining the side lining and a quarter window (16) disposed towards the rear of the vehicle (10), and cools the battery unit in cases in which the main intake vent has been blocked by taking in the air within the vehicle interior from the auxiliary intake vent as emergency cooling air.
