Abstract
A battery assembly includes a first endplate, a second endplate, at least one cell stack disposed between the first endplate and the second endplate, at least one compression spring disposed between the first endplate and the second endplate and configured to bias the at least one cell stack toward the second endplate, and a belt operably coupled with and extending between the first endplate and the second endplate. The belt is configured to bias the second endplate toward the first endplate.

A battery assembly, comprising:
- a first endplate;
- a second endplate;
- at least one cell stack disposed between the first endplate and the second endplate;
- at least one compression spring disposed between the first endplate and the second endplate and configured to bias the at least one cell stack toward the second endplate;
- and
- a belt operably coupled with and extending between the first endplate and the second endplate, the belt configured to bias the second endplate toward the first endplate.
A battery assembly comprising:
- a first endplate;
- a second endplate;
- at least one cell stack disposed between the first endplate and the second endplate;
- at least one compression spring disposed between the first endplate and the second endplate and configured to bias the at least one cell stack toward the second endplate;
- a retention plate disposed between the at least one cell stack and the at least one compression spring, the retention plate configured to align the at least one compression spring;
