    Abstract: A system includes a battery cell having an internal heat fin and a first electrically insulating layer disposed over at least a portion of a single side of the internal heat fin. The battery cell includes an electrochemical stack disposed above the first insulating layer and the internal heat fin in a stack. The battery cell also includes a pouch material film configured to hermetically seal with one side of the internal heat fin or the first insulating layer about the electrochemical stack such that the internal heat fin forms an outer boundary of the battery cell. The pouch material film includes a metallic foil layer disposed between a second electrically insulating layer and a third electrically insulating layer.

    Abstract: A battery module includes active material disposed in layers to form a generally planar electrochemical cell with an upper surface, a lower surface, and side surfaces. The battery also includes electrodes extending out of the electrochemical cell, and a frame disposed about the active material such that edges of the frame surround the side surfaces of the active material and the electrodes extend beyond the frame. The battery further includes an upper layer of pouch material disposed over the upper surface of the active material and an upper surface of the frame, and a lower layer of pouch material disposed over the lower surface of the active material and a lower surface of the frame. The upper layer of pouch material and the lower layer of pouch material function to provide a seal that seals the active material within the frame.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system includes a battery module, a battery cell assembly that is a component of the battery module, and a battery cell of the battery cell assembly, wherein the battery cell is configured to generate heat during operation. The battery cell assembly also includes a phase change material (PCM) disposed along a thermal pathway within the battery cell assembly that transfers the heat generated by the battery cell away from the battery cell during operation. The PCM is configured to conduct a first portion of the heat generated by the battery cell during operation. Further, the PCM is configured to absorb a second portion of the heat generated by the battery cell to affect a phase change within at least a portion of the PCM.
