Abstract:
A system and method for installing a battery in an electronics module is presented. A battery mount includes an elongated battery can with first and second ends and receives a battery through the second end. An insulating sleeve with first and second ends is fitted around the first end of the battery can. A metallic cap is placed over the first end of the insulating sleeve and around a portion of the insulating sleeve. A non-conductive housing is mounted in the electronics module to receive the battery can and the battery. The metallic cap is attached to a front panel of the electronics module when the battery can and the battery are inserted into the housing. The insulating sleeve and non-conductive housing isolates terminals of the battery from a surface of the electronics module and the metallic cap provides for electromagnetic interference shielding of the battery.
Abstract:
A thermal insulating cover which can be easily fitted on an object.[Means for solution] A thermal insulating cover 10 to be fitted on a battery B so that a wall portion 12 in a cylindrical form of the cover covers the entire periphery of the side surface of the battery B. The wall portion 12 has a general portion 18, which is disposed to be separate from the side surface of the battery B, and a sealing portion 20, which is formed to protrude inward more than the general portion 18 and elastically abutting on the side surface of the battery B. The thermal insulating cover 10 closes an upper side of a space G formed between the side surface of the battery B and the general portion 18 by the sealing portion 20.
Abstract:
A flexible one piece, insulative battery cover; battery cover assembly therewith; method of construction thereof, and method of enclosing a battery therewith are provided. The battery cover includes a flexible, tubular textile wall having a cavity extending between a bottom end and an open top end of the wall. The cover further includes a flexible textile lid having a free end and an opposite end attached to the wall via a hinge, with the lid being pivotal via the hinge between an open position, exposing the open top end of the wall, and a closed position, substantially closing off the top end. Further yet, the cover includes a fastener fixed to the lid adjacent the free end, with the fastener being configured to for releasable attachment to an elongate fastener member of the vehicle battery assembly.
Abstract:
A method comprising the steps of encapsulating a power source including a set of power terminals in a cover and sealing the power source including the set of power terminals within the cover and inserting a set of conductive contacts through the cover to contact the set of power terminals and provide conductive access to the set of power terminals of the power source from outside the cover without allowing exposure of the power source to an environment outside the cover.
Abstract:
Provided is an energy storage apparatus where a cooling fluid minimally leaks to the outside from a passage formed between an outer spacer and an energy storage device. The energy storage apparatus includes: an energy storage device; an outer spacer arranged adjacently to the energy storage device; and an end plate arranged such that the outer spacer is sandwiched between the energy storage device and the end plate, wherein the outer spacer includes: a base extending along the energy storage device, the base defining, with the energy storage device, a passage; and a seal portion projecting from the base and being in contact with the energy storage device, wherein the end plate includes a pressing portion disposed at a position corresponding to the seal portion, the pressing portion pressing the seal portion toward the energy storage device via the base.
Abstract:
Methods for forming three-layer thin-film battery (TFB) structures by sequential electrophoretic deposition (EPD) on a single conductive substrate. The TFBs may be two-dimensional or three-dimensional. The sequential EPD includes EPD of a first battery electrode followed by EPD of a porous separator on the first electrode and by EPD of a second battery electrode on the porous separator. In some embodiments of a Li or Li-ion TFB, the separator includes a Li ion conducting solid. In some embodiments of a Li or Li-ion TFB, the separator includes an inorganic porous solid rendered ionically conductive by impregnation with a liquid or polymer. In some embodiments, the TFBs are coated and sealed with an EPDd PEEK layer.
Abstract:
