PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To resolve problems that, although battery modules have been designed with battery cells having cell tabs encapsulated in a potting compound, when the potting compound is being applied around the battery cell tabs, the potting compound can leak in the battery module and undesirably contact battery portions or battery pouches, and that the potting compound can undesirably fill in cooling passages between the battery portions.SOLUTION: A battery module and a related method are provided. The module includes battery cells having electrical terminals extending from battery portions. The module further includes an interconnect board having apertures for receiving the electrical terminals therethrough, and an elastomeric layer having apertures extending therethrough. The elastomeric layer is disposed proximate to the interconnect board such that the electrical terminals extend through the apertures of the interconnect board and further extend through the apertures of the elastomeric layer. The module further includes a potting compound disposed on the elastomeric layer such that the layer prevents the potting compound from contacting the battery portions. |
