FEATURES FOR PREVENTING SHORT CIRCUIT IN A BATTERY MODULE

摘要

The present disclosure includes a battery module having a first battery cell with a first cell terminal, a second battery cell with a second cell terminal, a first adapter disposed about the first cell terminal, where the first adapter has a first recess positioned proximate to the first cell terminal, and a second adapter disposed about the second cell terminal, wherein the second adapter has a second recess positioned proximate to the second cell terminal The battery module also includes a bus bar configured to electrically couple the first cell terminal to the second cell terminal via the first and second recesses and an electrically insulative shield configured to cover the first cell terminal and the second cell terminal when the bus bar is being coupled to the first and second recesses to prevent a short circuit.
