Bi-metallic busbar jumpers for battery systems

Abstract

A battery system comprises a plurality of battery cells arranged in a sequence, each battery cell having a first voltage terminal and second voltage terminal, wherein the first voltage terminals of the plurality are arranged in a row; and a bimetallic busbar having a first segment joined to a second segment, the first segment made of a first metal and the second segment made of a second metal that is different from the first metal, wherein the first segment includes a first u-shaped bend defining a first channel into which the first terminal of one of the plurality of battery cells is positioned, and wherein the second segment includes a second u-shaped bend defining a second channel into which the first terminal of another one of the plurality of battery cells is positioned.
