Abstract

Provided is a scalable battery module. In once example embodiment, the module includes a plurality of submodules. Each plurality of submodules is configured to hold one or more cell batteries. The module further includes one or more of a first connector, a second connector, or a third connector. The first connector may secure an alignment of two or more adjacent submodules of the plurality of submodules along a first dimensional axis by using at least one of two slots and two projections of the first connector. The second connector secures the alignment of two adjacent submodules of the plurality of submodules along a second dimensional axis by using at least two further slots of the second connector. The third connector secures the alignment of two adjacent submodules of the plurality of submodules along a third dimensional axis by using at least two further projections of the third connector.
