Abstract
An assembly is provided for attaching a temperature sensor to a battery cell. The assembly may comprise a sleeve having a hollow interior, the hollow interior being shaped to slide at least partially over the battery cell to a position on the battery cell. The assembly may further comprise a housing mounted on an exterior surface of the sleeve, the housing having an opening sized to accept the temperature sensor. The sleeve and the housing may provide thermal conductivity between the hollow interior of the sleeve and an interior of the opening of the housing, to facilitate thermal coupling between the battery cell and the temperature sensor.

An assembly for attaching a temperature sensor to a battery cell comprising:
- a sleeve having a hollow interior, the hollow interior being shaped to slide at least partially over the battery cell to a position on the battery cell;
- and
- a housing mounted on an exterior surface of the sleeve, the housing having an opening sized to accept the temperature sensor,
- wherein the sleeve and the housing provide thermal conductivity between the hollow interior of the sleeve and an interior of the opening of the housing, to facilitate thermal coupling between the battery cell and the temperature sensor.
A method for attaching a temperature sensor to a battery cell comprising:
- providing a sleeve having a hollow interior;
- providing a housing mounted on an exterior surface of the sleeve, the housing having an opening on one side sized to accept the temperature sensor;
- inserting the temperature sensor into in the housing;
- securing the temperature sensor in the housing;
- and
- sliding the housing at least partially over the battery cell with a contact to at least one point on the battery cell.
An apparatus for attaching a temperature sensor to a battery cell comprising:
- means for sensing temperature;
- means for securing the means for sensing temperature in a housing;
- means for providing thermal conductivity between the housing and the means for sensing temperature;
- and
- means for attaching the housing to a battery cell by sliding the means for attaching along the battery cell.
