Abstract: A retention clip is employed in a cooling subsystem of an electric energy generation and storage system having a battery cell. The cooling subsystem includes a coolant header extending proximate the battery cell and having an inlet fitting and an outlet fitting. The cooling subsystem also includes an inlet manifold configured to connect with the inlet fitting and an outlet manifold configured to connect with the outlet fitting. The inlet and outlet manifolds are together configured to circulate coolant through the coolant header. The retention clip is configured to engage and hold each of the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold and snap onto the coolant header to thereby fix the inlet manifold relative to the outlet manifold and fix and seal the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold to the coolant header.
