Abstract:
A battery packaging arrangement. The battery packaging arrangement includes a first base configured to be fixedly coupled to a frame of a vehicle, a second base moveable with respect to the first base, and a plurality of cooling columns inter-disposed between the first base and the second base. Each of the plurality of cooling columns includes a plurality of receiving surfaces for receiving a corresponding plurality of battery cells. Each of the plurality of cooling columns is further configured to deform when the second base in response to a force moves towards the first base.
Abstract:
A current interrupt device, method thereof, and battery assembly suitable for reducing the likelihood of an overcharge of the battery. The battery assembly includes a busbar electrically connecting an anode of a first battery cell and a cathode of a second battery cell of the battery assembly. The busbar is configured to interrupt the flow of electrical current between the anode and cathode in response to a mechanical impact load, for example an automobile crash.
