BATTERY SYSTEM

摘要

A battery system is disclosed herein that includes a battery enclosure and a battery assembly contained within or substantially surrounded by the enclosure. The enclosure may include enclosure walls having fluid pathways defined therein. In an example, enclosure walls are formed from multiple instances of a repeating modular wall component. A cooling fluid may be circulated through the fluid pathways to provide thermal regulation of the battery assembly. The battery assembly may include one or more electric batteries. An example battery assembly includes a plurality of batteries that are organized into rows. These rows of batteries may be electrically interconnected with each other by electrically conductive strips to form a battery pack. The battery system may be used to provide energy storage within the context of automotive applications or other electronic systems.

主权项

1. A battery enclosure, comprising:
a pair of opposing enclosure portions that collectively define a battery region, each enclosure portion including:
a first segment that includes a plurality of fluid pathways spaced apart from each other, the first segment forming a notched region at a distal end of the first segment; anda second segment that joins the first segment at an interface opposite a distal end of the first segment, the second segment being orthogonal to the first segment, the second segment forming a flange at a distal end of the second segment opposite the interface;wherein each notched region of each enclosure portion accommodates the flange of the other enclosure portion.
