Abstract
A battery interface assembly for a battery system includes a first end section and a second end section. The first end section provides a source voltage from battery modules of the battery system via a conductive bus bar. The battery interface assembly also includes X intermediate housing sections that receive and house respective sections of the conductive bus bar and that detachably interconnect with each other and with the first and second end sections. The first and second end sections and the X intermediate housing sections are contiguously aligned. X is an integer greater than or equal to 0.
Claims23
A battery interface assembly for a battery system, comprising:
- a first end section that provides a source voltage from battery modules of the battery system via a conductive bus bar;
- a second end section;
- and
- X intermediate housing sections that receive and house respective sections of said conductive bus bar and that detachably interconnect with each other and with said first and second end sections so that said first and second end sections and said X intermediate housing sections are contiguously aligned, wherein X is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
A battery system, comprising:
- X interconnecting sections of a battery interface assembly that cover terminals of Y battery modules, wherein adjacent ones of said X interconnecting sections detachably couple together;
- and
- a bus bar that comprises Z sections that are received in respective ones of said X interconnecting sections and that communicate with said terminals of respective ones of said Y battery modules, wherein said bus bar provides a source voltage from at least one of said Y battery modules, and wherein X, Y and Z are integers greater than 1.
