Abstract: A battery pack includes an enclosure defining an enclosure interior, a stack of battery cells disposed in the enclosure interior between a first wall of the enclosure and a second wall of the enclosure, and a side beam extending from the first wall to the second wall and adjacent to the stack of battery cells. The side beam includes a plurality of interconnected elements forming a web, where a portion of the web is configured to collapse in response to a force against a side of the battery pack exceeding a threshold force.
