Abstract: A battery pack includes a first busbar, a second busbar, and a thermal interface material (TIM) including a thermal conductivity constant (k) value between 1.0 and 7.0 watts per meter-kelvin (W/mK). The TIM establishes a thermal interface between the first busbar and the second busbar. The battery pack also includes a control assembly configured to regulate a charging mode of the battery pack in which the first busbar is active and receives an electrical current and the second busbar is inactive.
