Abstract
A battery module of the present invention is adaptable to be utilized in various configurations including and not limited to an overlapping battery cell packaging configuration and a vertical stack battery cell packaging configuration used in an automotive and non-automotive applications. The battery module has a plurality of battery heatsink assemblies with the cells disposed therebetween. A plurality of rods extend through the each heatsink assemblies to secure the heatsink assemblies and the cell with one another to form the battery module.
Claims9
A battery assembly, comprising:
- a plurality of removably coupled frames, each of the plurality of removably coupled frames including an open central portion;
- a first prismatic cell supported by the plurality of removably coupled frames, the first prismatic cell having a first terminal extending from a first side of the plurality of removably coupled frames and a second terminal extending from a second side of the plurality of removably coupled frames, the second side of the plurality of removably coupled frames different from the first side of the plurality of removably coupled frames;
- and
- a heatsink secured by the plurality of removably coupled frames and positioned to conduct thermal energy between the first prismatic cell and the heatsink via the open central portion of one of the plurality of removably coupled frames, the heatsink having a first fin extending along a third side of the plurality of removably coupled frames, the third side of the plurality of removably coupled frames different from the first side and the second side of the plurality of removably coupled frames, wherein the first fin extends from a fin base positioned along the third side of the plurality of removably coupled frames to a distal fin end to define a first fin having a tubular cross section.
