1. A battery assembly, comprising:
a first battery frame assembly having a first plastic frame member and a first thermally conductive plate; the first plastic frame member having a first substantially rectangular ring-shaped peripheral wall and a first plurality of cross-members; the first substantially rectangular ring-shaped peripheral wall having first, second, third and fourth wall portions defining a first central space, the first plurality of cross-members extending between the first and second wall portions and extending across the first central space, the first plurality of cross-members defining a first plurality of open spaces therebetween in the first central space; the first substantially rectangular ring-shaped peripheral wall further having a first plurality of channels extending into the first wall portion proximate to the first plurality of open spaces, and a second plurality of channels extending into the second wall portion proximate to the first plurality of open spaces; the first thermally conductive plate having first, second, third and fourth peripheral edges being disposed and encapsulated within the first, second, third and fourth wall portions, respectively, of the first substantially rectangular ring-shaped peripheral wall, the first thermally conductive plate having first and second sides, the first plurality of cross-members being disposed directly on an contacting the first side of the first thermally conductive plate, the first thermally conductive plate further having exposed portions on the first side thereof disposed in the first plurality of open spaces configured to contact air flowing through the first plurality of channels and past the first side of the first thermally conductive plate and through the second plurality of channels to extract heat energy from the first thermally conductive plate; a first battery cell being disposed directly on and contacting the second side of the first thermally conductive plate; a second battery cell being disposed directly on and contacting the first battery cell; a second battery frame assembly being coupled to the first battery frame assembly such that the first and second battery cells are disposed between the first and second battery frame assemblies, the second battery frame assembly having a second plastic frame member and a second thermally conductive plate, the second thermally conductive plate having first, second, third and fourth peripheral edges disposed and encapsulated within the second plastic frame member, the second thermally conductive plate having first and second sides, the first side of the second thermally conductive plate being disposed directly on and contacting the second battery cell such that the first and second battery cells are disposed directly between the first and second thermally conductive plates; and a second plurality of cross-members of the second plastic frame member being disposed directly on and contacting the second side of the second thermally conductive plate. |
