System and method for clamping interconnection of battery cells

A battery module, comprising:

• a power assembly comprising a first battery cell and a second battery cell in a stacked orientation relative to each other, wherein the first battery cell comprises a first tab electrode extending therefrom, and wherein the second battery cell comprises a second tab electrode extending therefrom;
• and
• an interconnect assembly configured to facilitate electrically coupling the first tab electrode with the second tab electrode with the first and second battery cells in the stacked orientation, wherein the interconnect assembly comprises:
• a coupling structure about which the first and second tab electrodes at least partially conform, wherein the coupling structure comprises a substantially rounded outer portion;
• and
• a clamp disposed about the coupling structure and the first and second tab electrodes, wherein the clamp comprises a spring element with curved portions configured to be disposed around the substantially rounded outer portion of the coupling structure to apply a clamping force to the coupling structure and to the first and second tab electrodes such that the first and second tab electrodes are secured in electrical communication.
