Abstract
In one aspect, an embodiment of this invention comprises an energy-storage module for storing energy for electrical consumption. The module comprises a plurality of energy-storage cells and a set of parallel walls configured to mount the plurality of energy-storage cells between the parallel walls and having a plurality of through-holes. The module also comprises a bus bar arrangement configured to electrically couple each of the plurality of energy-storage cells to a first terminal and a second terminal and a wire routing device configured to mate with a plurality of the through-holes and configured to receive one or more wires that electrically connect components of the energy storage module.
Claims20
An energy storage module, comprising:
- a plurality of energy-storage cells;
- a set of parallel walls configured to mount the plurality of energy-storage cells between the parallel walls and having a plurality of through-holes;
- a bus bar arrangement configured to electrically couple each of the plurality of energy-storage cells to a first terminal and a second terminal;
- and
- a wire routing device configured to mate with a plurality of the through-holes and configured to receive one or more wires that electrically connect components of the energy storage module.
A method for manufacturing an energy storage module, the method comprising:
- mounting a set of parallel walls on opposite ends of a plurality of energy-storage cells such that the plurality of energy-storage cells are positioned between the parallel walls, each of the parallel walls having a plurality of through-holes;
- electrically coupling each of the plurality of energy-storage cells to a first terminal and a second terminal via a bus bar arrangement;
- and
- mating a wire routing device with a plurality of the through-holes, the wire routing device configured to receive one or more wires that electrically connect components of the energy storage module.
