Abstract: A battery pack includes an enclosure comprising a first wall and a second wall opposing the first wall, battery cells disposed in an interior of the enclosure between the first wall and the second wall, a first coating and adhesive assembly, and a second coating and adhesive assembly. The first coating and adhesive assembly is configured to structurally couple the battery cells with the first wall of the enclosure and electrically isolate the battery cells from the first wall of the enclosure. The second coating and adhesive assembly is configured to structurally coupling the battery cells with the second wall of the enclosure and electrically isolate the battery cells from the second wall of the enclosure.

Abstract: Battery packs according to some embodiments of the present technology may include a longitudinal beam. The packs may include a plurality of battery cells disposed adjacent the longitudinal beam. Each battery cell may be characterized by a first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface. Each battery cell may be characterized by a third surface extending vertically between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface may face the longitudinal beam, and battery terminals may extend from the third surface. Each battery cell may be characterized by a fourth surface opposite the third surface. The packs may include a lid coupled with the first surface of each battery cell of the plurality of battery cells. The packs may include a base coupled with the second surface of each battery cell of the plurality of battery cells.

Abstract: Batteries according to embodiments of the present technology may include a housing including a first terminal disposed on a first side of the housing and a second terminal disposed on the first side of the housing. The batteries may include an electrode stack positioned within the housing. The electrode stack may include an anode current collector. The anode current collector may define an anode tab along a second side of the anode current collector, and be electrically coupled with the first terminal. The electrode stack may include a cathode current collector. The cathode current collector may define a cathode tab along a second side of the cathode current collector. The cathode tab and anode tab may extend in a direction normal to a direction facing the first side of the housing. The cathode tab may be electrically coupled with the second terminal.
