Battery assembly including a selectively decoupling adhesive layer

A method for servicing a battery assembly, the method comprising:

• providing the battery assembly, wherein the battery assembly comprises:
• a first battery component portion;
• a second battery component portion;
• a primary adhesive layer coupled to the first battery component portion and disposed between the first and second battery component portions;
• and
• a selectively decoupling adhesive layer that is disposed between the primary adhesive layer and the second battery component portion and that couples the second battery component portion with the primary adhesive layer and the first battery component portion;
• and
• applying a trigger stimuli to the selectively decoupling adhesive layer such that the selectively decoupling adhesive layer responds to the trigger stimuli by decoupling the second battery component portion from the primary adhesive layer and the first battery component portion.

A device comprising:

• an output battery component;
• and
• a battery assembly configured for providing electrical energy to the output battery component, the battery assembly comprising:
• a first battery component portion;
• a second battery component portion;
• a primary adhesive layer coupled to the first battery component portion and disposed between the first and second battery component portions;
• and
• a selectively decoupling adhesive layer that is disposed between the primary adhesive layer and the second battery component portion and that couples the second battery component portion with the primary adhesive layer and the first battery component portion, and wherein the selectively decoupling adhesive layer decouples the second battery component portion from the primary adhesive layer and the first battery component portion in response to a trigger stimuli.
