Abstract
A battery cell assembly is provided. The battery cell assembly includes a battery cell housing having first and second side members coupled together defining an interior region, and a battery cell disposed within the interior region. The battery cell assembly further includes a cable carrier assembly coupled to the battery cell housing. The cable carrier assembly includes a carrier member having a first aperture extending therethrough. The carrier member is disposed between first and second end portions of the first and second side members, respectively, and extends outwardly from the battery cell housing. The cable carrier assembly further includes a first cable fixedly held by the carrier member.
Claims13
A battery cell assembly, comprising:
- a battery cell housing having first and second side members coupled together defining an interior region;
- at least one battery cell disposed within the interior region of the battery cell housing;
- first and second electrical terminals operably coupled to the at least one battery cell and extending outwardly from the battery cell housing;
- a cable carrier assembly coupled to the battery cell housing, the cable carrier assembly comprising:
- a carrier member having a first aperture extending therethrough;
- the carrier member being disposed between first and second end portions of the first and second side members, respectively, and extending outwardly from the battery cell housing;
- and
- a first cable fixedly held by the carrier member, the first cable extending from the interior region of the battery cell housing and through the first aperture of the carrier member to a region outside of the battery cell housing.
A method for manufacturing a battery cell assembly, comprising:
- disposing at least one battery cell within an interior region of the battery cell housing, the battery cell housing having first and second side members at least partially coupled together defining the interior region;
- providing a cable carrier assembly having a carrier member and a first cable extending through the carrier member;
- positioning the carrier member between first and second end portions of the first and second side members, respectively, such that the first cable extends from the interior region of the battery cell housing and through the first aperture of the carrier member;
- and
- coupling regions of the first and second end portions of the first and second side members, respectively, to one another such that the carrier member is fixedly held between the first and second end portions and an airtight and moisture-proof seal is formed between the carrier member and the first and second side members.
