Powered thermal exchange system

A powered thermal exchange system, comprising:

• an energy storage device configured to transmit electrical power;
• a sealed housing configured to enclose the energy storage device disposed in an interior volume of the sealed housing, the sealed housing structured to prevent transfer of fluid between the interior volume of the sealed housing and an exterior of the sealed housing;
• and
• a thermoelectric device in conductive thermal communication with the energy storage device, the thermoelectric device structured to transfer heat between the energy storage device and the exterior of the sealed housing.

A method for thermoelectrically transferring heat, the method comprising:

• providing electric power to a thermoelectric device;
• transferring heat in a first mode of operation from an energy storage device through a wall of a sealed housing to a first thermal conductor as a result of a thermal gradient formed by the providing electric power to the thermoelectric device;
• and
• removing the transferred heat from the first thermal conductor.
