Abstract: A battery module includes: a plurality of aligned battery cells having differently-oriented surfaces; a cell supervision circuit (CSC) configured to receive signals corresponding to the voltage and/or temperature of at least one of the battery cells; and a flexible interconnector comprising a strip-shaped flexible printed circuit (FPC). The FPC includes a first insulating main surface, a second insulating main surface opposite the first insulating main surface, and a plurality of thermally and/or electrically conducting lines between the first insulating main surface and the second insulating main surface. Each of the conducting lines has a contact portion exposed by a contact aperture in the first insulating main surface and/or in the second insulating main surface and a connecting portion for connection to the CSC, and the flexible interconnector wraps around the battery cells such that the contact portions contact the differently-oriented surfaces of the battery cells.

Abstract: A removable battery component carrier (30,60) for accommodating a battery submodule (40,64) and configured to be mechanically and electrically connected to other removable battery component carriers (30,60) and/or to a carrier frame is provided. The removable battery component carrier (30,60) comprises a bottom plate (32,62), a pair of side walls (31) extending upward from the bottom plate (32,62) along two longitudinal edges of the bottom plate (32,62), a pair of end plates (33) extending upwards from the bottom plate (32,62) along two transversal edges of the bottom plate (32,62). The end plates (33) are mechanically coupled to the side walls (31) and/or to the bottom plate (32,62) to fix battery cells (1,1′) together. A cell cover (34,66) extends parallel to the bottom plate (32,62) so that the cell cover, the bottom plate, the side walls, and the end plates form an accommodating space for the battery submodule (40,64).
