Claims11
A battery flooding system comprising:
- a flood port configured to be fluidly coupled to a battery housing of an electrified vehicle;
- and
- an elongated connector configured to interface with the flood port to facilitate providing a fluid to the flood port from a fluid source such that the fluid is provided within the battery housing, wherein the elongated connector is configured to generate a fluid shield using at least a portion of the fluid prior to engaging with the flood port, and wherein the flood port is configured to generate the fluid shield using at least a portion of the fluid when the elongated connector is engaged with the flood port.
A battery flooding system comprising:
- an elongated connector configured to:
- receive fluid from a fluid source;
- generate a fluid shield using the fluid;
- and
- interface with a flood port to facilitate providing at least a portion of the fluid to a battery housing fluidly coupled to the flood port, wherein engagement between the elongated connector and the flood port transitions generation of the fluid shield from the elongated connector to the flood port.
