Abstract
A battery module includes a housing having a central plenum and a plurality of cells provided within the housing, the plurality of cells including a first group of cells and a second group of cells separated from the first group by the central plenum. The housing is configured to direct cooling air from the central plenum to the plurality of cells and each of the first group and the second group is arranged in a first layer of cells and a second layer of cells offset relative to the first layer of cells.
Claims29
A battery module comprising:
- a housing comprising a central plenum;
