Abstract: Battery systems according to embodiments of the present technology may include a battery characterized by a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface. A recessed ledge may be defined by the third surface about a midpoint of the battery. The first surface and the third surface may define a first terrace formed proximate a first lateral edge of the first surface of the battery adjacent the third surface of the battery, and a second terrace formed proximate a second lateral edge of the first surface of the battery adjacent the third surface of the battery and opposite the first lateral edge. The recessed ledge may extend along the first surface of the battery between the first terrace and the second terrace. The battery systems may also include a module seated on the first surface of the battery between the first terrace and the second terrace.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve various battery packs. In general, the battery pack includes a plurality of layers and an enclosure enclosing the plurality of layers. A cathode terminal and an anode terminal extend from a first face of the enclosure. The cathode terminal and the anode terminal are connected to the plurality of layers. A Parylene coating may cover an entire surface of the enclosure except for at least a portion of a surface of the first face.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve various battery packs. In general, the battery pack includes a plurality of layers and an enclosure enclosing the plurality of layers. A cathode terminal and an anode terminal extend from a first face of the enclosure. The cathode terminal and the anode terminal are connected to the plurality of layers. A connector comprising a portion external to the enclosure is configured to connect the cathode terminal or the anode terminal to the plurality of layers. A coating covers an entire surface of the enclosure except for at least a portion of a surface of the first face.
