The present disclosure provides a cover element for a battery pack. The cover element is generally planar and formed from a silicate mineral. The cover element is configured to be sealed to a periphery of the battery pack and attached to a top surface of arrays which form the battery pack. The cover element includes cover apertures configured to be aligned with vent apertures in the top surface of the arrays and to form a seal around the vent apertures, providing a fluid pathway from the cover apertures. The cover element may be formed of mica and include terminal apertures aligned with array terminals. A battery pack (250) incorporating the cover element and a vehicle containing such a battery pack are also disclosed.
