BUSS BAR FOR BATTERIES

摘要

A buss bar for use in connecting terminals of cells in a battery module. The buss bar has a body including an arch feature that helps buss bar to form in response to vibratory forces and/or imperfect manufacturing tolerances. In various embodiments, the buss bar further includes a cover to substantially insulate conductive members of buss bars to reduce the possibility of a short circuit or shock when a battery module is damaged due to circumstances such as a vehicle crash. In various embodiments, the buss bar also includes a voltage sense terminal to help measure voltage and communicate voltage measurements to a controller or controller circuit board.
