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: 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.
