Abstract
Disclosed herein are cell holders for holding a plurality of battery cells, each cell holder including a body, said body having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of through openings, wherein each through opening extends between the upper surface and the lower surface and is arranged to receive a battery cell, wherein in each through opening a deformable member is protruding in the through opening in a direction which is perpendicular to the direction of extension of the through opening to thereby decrease the diameter of the through opening such that the diameter of the through opening in the plane in which the deformable member is protruding is smaller than the outer diameter of the battery cell.
Claims13
A cell holder for holding a plurality of battery cells, the cell holder comprising a body comprising:
- an upper surface;
- a lower surface;
- and
- a plurality of through openings,
- wherein:
- each through opening extends between the upper surface and the lower surface and is arranged to receive a battery cell;
- in each through opening a deformable member is protruding in the through opening in a direction which is perpendicular to the direction of extension of the through opening to thereby decrease the diameter of the through opening such that the diameter of the through opening in the plane in which the deformable member is protruding is smaller than the outer diameter of the battery cell;
- and
- the deformable member is configured to contact the outer wall of the battery cell during insertion of the battery cell in the through opening, and to bend in the direction of insertion of the battery cell to thereby close a gap existing between the body of the cell holder and the battery cell.
