An endplate of a battery module is configured with holes through which an inlet and outlet for a cooling tube are arranged. Cooling interfaces between the inlet and outlet and a cooling manifold are arranged outside of a battery module compartment that houses the battery module. In a first embodiment, sealing components separate from the cooling tube are arranged inside the inlet and outlet holes, with each sealing component defining multiple sealing areas (e.g., ring-shaped sealing areas) for sealing a respective hole. In a second embodiment, the cooling tube includes integrated sealing components (e.g., threaded sections of the cooling tube) inside the inlet and outlet holes, with each integrated sealing component defining a single sealing area (e.g., a ring-shaped sealing area) for sealing a respective hole.
