    Abstract: An example electric vehicle battery current communication device includes a terminal landing and a transition from the terminal landing having an area that is both bent and tapered. The transition can bend toward an interior of a battery cell such that a portion of the transition is closer to the interior than each portion of the terminal landing. The terminal landing can attach to a bus bar. The terminal landing can also weld to a bus bar. The transition can extend from the terminal landing to a current collector extending into an interior of the battery cell.

    Abstract: A battery pack for a vehicle may include a cell array defining an upper surface and a housing defining a raised portion extending along and above a length of the array such that the raised portion and upper surface define a vent manifold therebetween which may be configured to collect gases generated by the array. The housing may define a discharge opening configured to allow gases to exit the manifold. A pair of end plates may be disposed at opposing ends of the array. One of the end plates may define a pass through portion in at least partial registration with the discharge opening. An outlet tube may be configured to facilitate fluid communication between the vent manifold and exterior of the vehicle. The battery pack may also include spacers located between upper edges of adjacent cells and may be configured to prevent cooling gases from entering the vent manifold.

    Abstract: A traction battery assembly may include an array of battery cells having opposing end faces, opposing side faces, and a bottom face. The assembly may also include a pair of end plates and a pair of side plates arranged to form a four-sided enclosure around the end and side faces and configured to compress and retain the cells without being mechanically attached thereto or covering the bottom face. The side plates may partially cover an upper portion of the array. The side plates may have a lower horizontal edge, an upper horizontal edge, and at least one diagonal reinforcement rib configured to extend from a location where the vertical edge and lower horizontal edge meet upward to the upper horizontal edge.

    Abstract: Integrated filtering systems are provided for filtering battery vent byproducts (e.g., gases and/or effluent particulates) during battery thermal events of a traction battery pack. The filtering systems may include one or more filters integrated as part of a vent valve, a vent pipe, a pressure equalization device, and/or an array housing of the traction battery pack, and/or as part of a structure that is separate from the traction battery pack. The filter may be configured to filter a constituent element (e.g., carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen fluoride (HF), etc.) of a gaseous mixture vented from a battery cell of the traction battery pack during a battery thermal event, thereby mitigating the potential for vent gas combustion. The filter may be further configured to control the escape of particulates to surrounding environments.
