Abstract: A vehicle including a pair of spaced apart battery cell arrays, a pair of sub-structures configured to retain the arrays, and a thermal plate assembly disposed between the arrays is provided. Each of the sub-structures may include opposing endplates and opposing upper and lower sidewalls secured to the endplates and each having a flange extending toward and overlapping with the respective flange of the other sub-structure to join the sub-structures without mechanical fastening. The thermal plate assembly may be disposed between the overlapping flanges and the arrays to form a sandwich formation. The thermal plate assembly may include at least one thermal interface component disposed on a side of a thermal plate, and in contact with a portion of at least one of the battery cell arrays.

Abstract: A traction battery assembly for a vehicle includes an array of cells stacked on a tray. The array of cells defines opposing longitudinal sides and opposing lateral sides. First and second L-shaped components are attached to the tray. Each of the components includes an end wall and a sidewall that are integrally formed to define a substantially 90° corner. The first and second components are attached together such that each of the sidewalls is disposed adjacent one of the longitudinal sides and each of the end walls is disposed adjacent one of the lateral sides to form a housing around the tray that has an open top and an open bottom.

Abstract: A battery pack assembly includes, among other things, an enclosure providing an interior area that houses one or more battery arrays, a bracket secured relative to the enclosure, and a bracket fastener having a stem extending longitudinally from a head along a longitudinal axis of the bracket fastener. The head is enlarged radially relative to the stem. The head is captured between the bracket and a surface of the enclosure. A battery pack securing method includes, among other things, securing a bracket relative to an enclosure of a battery pack to capture a head of a bracket fastener between the bracket and a surface of an enclosure. The bracket fastener has a stem that extends longitudinally from the head of the bracket fastener.

Abstract: A vehicle underbody includes a tray structure, a battery pack having a plurality of footers and a bracket; and an enclosure surrounding the battery pack. The bracket has a wall attached to the enclosure, a ledge attached to the footers, and a stepped deformation region between the wall and ledge. The stepped deformation region deforms in response to impact to absorb energy associated with the impact.
