<p>A lightweight, low volume motive-power, exothermic (e.g. nickel-zinc) battery pack including a plurality of individual cell containers 4 clamped together but spaced apart by air gaps 12, 14 for cooling. Each container 4 is defined by thin, heat-transmissive, plastic end walls 28 which are too weak to independently resist distortion from forces generated within the containers. A plurality of small bosses 32 distributed over the end walls 28 engage adjacent container walls across the gap 12, 14 and prevent distortion of the end walls by counterbalancing the internal forces of one container with the internal forces of the next. Complementary nesting projections 34, 36 on the end walls 28 facilitate alignment of the containers during assembly and prevent displacement of the containers relative to each other once assembled. A universal container positionable anywhere within the pack is described.</p> |
