Abstract: An electrical conduction assembly comprising a flexible layer, an interface being associated with and electrically coupled to a terminal of an external electrical element, and a circuit trace coupled to the flexible layer and to the interface. The circuit trace includes a fuse as part of the trace, and the fuse is associated with the interface. Also disclosed is a battery including the electrical conduction assembly. Further disclosed is a bus bar holder for a battery. The bus bar holder includes a lead-in structure coupled with a main body on a first side. The lead in structure includes a first lead-in wall to be disposed between a first plurality of battery cells and a second lead-in wall orthogonal to the first lead-in wall. The bus bar holder can also include a plurality of pockets, each or which includes a respective aperture and a respective recess.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a battery module that includes a housing having a first protruding shelf along a first perimeter of the housing, a second protruding shelf along a second perimeter of the housing, where the first and second protruding shelves each include an absorptive material configured to absorb a first laser emission. The battery module also includes an electronics compartment cover configured to be coupled to the housing via a first laser weld, and a cell receptacle region cover configured to be coupled to the housing via a second laser weld. The electronics compartment cover has a first transparent material configured to transmit the first laser emission toward the first protruding shelf and the cell receptacle region cover has a second transparent material configured to transmit the first laser emission or a second laser emission toward the second protruding shelf.
