Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a battery module having a housing and a stack of battery cells disposed in a receptacle area of the housing, where each battery cell has a top having a battery cell terminal and a bottom, where the top of the battery cells face outwardly away from the receptacle area. The battery module includes an integrated sensing and bus bar subassembly positioned against the stack of battery cells and has a carrier, a bus bar integrated onto the carrier, and a biasing member integrated onto the carrier. The bus bar electrically couples battery cells in an electrical arrangement, and the biasing member is between the top of each battery cell and the carrier, where the biasing member has a first material, more compliant than a second material of the carrier, and the biasing member biases the stack of battery cells inwardly toward the housing.

Abstract: An electrical conduction assembly comprising a flexible layer, an interface being associated with and electrically coupled to a terminal of an external electrical element, and a circuit trace coupled to the flexible layer and to the interface. The circuit trace includes a fuse as part of the trace, and the fuse is associated with the interface. Also disclosed is a battery including the electrical conduction assembly. Further disclosed is a bus bar holder for a battery. The bus bar holder includes a lead-in structure coupled with a main body on a first side. The lead in structure includes a first lead-in wall to be disposed between a first plurality of battery cells and a second lead-in wall orthogonal to the first lead-in wall. The bus bar holder can also include a plurality of pockets, each or which includes a respective aperture and a respective recess.
