WASHERS FOR A LITHIUM ION BATTERY CELL TERMINAL

摘要

The present disclosure relates to washers for lithium ion battery cell terminals. A lithium ion battery module includes a housing, a first battery cell disposed in the housing and having a cell terminal protruding from a surface of a casing of the first battery cell, where the cell terminal is configured to enable electrical connection to the battery cell, and a washer stack disposed about the cell terminal. The washer stack has an electrically insulative washer and an electrically conductive washer. The electrically conductive washer is disposed adjacent to the electrically insulative washer such that the electrically insulative washer is positioned between the electrically conductive washer and the surface of the casing, and the electrically conductive washer is configured to enable electrical connection to the cell terminal.
