Battery cell assembly

A battery cell assembly, comprising:

• a first frame member having a first rectangular ring-shaped body and a first coupler portion;
• the first coupler portion being coupled to and extending outwardly from a first end of the first rectangular ring-shaped body in a first direction, the first coupler portion having a first tab member;
• a first metal trim clip member being disposed on and coupled to the first tab member;
• a second frame member having a second rectangular ring-shaped body and a second coupler portion;
• the second coupler portion being coupled to and extending outwardly from a first end of the second rectangular ring-shaped body;
• the second coupler portion having first and second substantially flat walls and first and second peripheral wall portions;
• the first and second peripheral wall portions of the second coupler portion extending outwardly from a first side of the first substantially flat wall of the second coupler portion, the second substantially flat wall of the second coupler portion being coupled to and between the first and second peripheral wall portions of the second coupler portion and spaced apart from the first substantially flat wall of the second coupler portion;
• the first and second peripheral wall portions and the first and second substantially flat walls of the second coupler portion defining a first interior region therebetween, the second substantially flat wall of the second coupler portion having a first aperture extending therethrough;
• the first metal trim clip member being at least partially disposed through the first aperture and into the first interior region of the second coupler portion, the first metal trim clip member being adapted to contact and to engage an inner surface of the second substantially flat wall of the second coupler portion in the first interior region to couple the second frame member to the first frame member;
• and
• a first battery cell being disposed on and held between the first and second frame members.
