Claims20
A battery pack assembly comprising:
- a tray;
- a battery disposed in the tray;
- an absorption member disposed in the tray and configured to wick moisture out of the tray and away from the battery;
- an inlet component disposed in the tray and configured to guide a gaseous fluid into the tray and across the battery;
- and
- an outlet component disposed in the tray and spaced from the inlet component, with the battery disposed between the inlet component and the outlet component and wherein the outlet component is configured to guide the gaseous fluid out of the tray away from the battery;
- wherein the absorption member is disposed closer to the outlet component than the inlet component such that the moisture is directed out of the tray and away from the battery.

A battery pack assembly comprising:
- a tray including a bottom wall and a side wall extending outwardly away from the bottom wall to present a space between the bottom wall and the side wall;
- a battery disposed in the space of the tray such that the side wall surrounds the battery;
- an inlet component disposed in the tray and configured to guide a gaseous fluid into the tray and across the battery inside the space of the tray;
- an outlet component disposed in the tray and spaced from the inlet component, with the battery disposed between the inlet component and the outlet component, and wherein the outlet component is configured to guide the gaseous fluid out of the tray away from the battery;
- and
- an absorption member disposed in the space of the tray and through the outlet component such that a first portion of the absorption member is disposed inside the outlet component and a second portion of the absorption member is disposed outside of the outlet component, and wherein the second portion is disposed adjacent to the bottom wall of the tray such that the second portion is configured to wick moisture from the bottom wall of the tray to the first portion inside the outlet component which allows the gaseous fluid to be directed across the first portion inside the outlet component to direct the moisture out of the tray and away from the battery.
