Abstract
A battery pack assembly includes an enclosure assembly that provides an interior area. Battery cells are within the interior area. The battery cells each include at least one tab terminal that projects outward from the array axis. A frame provides at least one slot that receives a portion of the at least one tab terminal. At least one busbar is secured to the frame. A busbar shield is disposed between at least one cell and at least one busbar within a battery pack.
