Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a battery system which comprises a plurality of battery cells housed inside a battery enclosure of a battery pack, a venting system, and a suppressing agent. The venting system comprises a dual-staged venting valve that equalizes pressure during normal operation of the battery system and a vent valve that opens to relieve pressure during a high pressure or temperature event. The suppressing agent is released into the enclosure of the battery pack to reduce further reactions by removing or limiting oxidants within the battery pack. A solenoid is coupled to the dual-staged venting valve and seals the dual-staged venting valve following release of the suppressing agent, allowing for the suppressing agent to remain in the enclosure for a longer period of time in order to provide increased mitigation of future thermal events in the battery enclosure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for electric motor cooling. The cooling system, in one example, includes a sealing ring coupled to or formed in a stator and including a flange that axially extends outward from an axial side of the stator. The cooling system further includes a first sealing sleeve with a first sealing interface that is formed between the sealing sleeve and a motor housing and a second sealing interface that is formed between the sealing sleeve and the flange, where a cavity is formed between the sealing sleeve and the sealing ring in which a stator end winding is at least partially immersed in a coolant.

Abstract: A cable support assembly comprising a grommet, a clamp, and a single or a plurality of fasteners. Wherein, the grommet is an elastic grommet comprising clamp section and strain-relief section, and the clamp is a rigid clamp comprising an upper clamp half and a lower clamp half. Wherein, the at least one fastener may tighten the clamp halves together and affix the cable support assembly to a surface.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for a fastening system comprising: an electrically conductive continuous unitary structure, such as an electrically conductive stud, overmolded into an enclosure, the electrically conductive stud extending from an interior of the enclosure to an exterior of the enclosure. The fastening system may act as a structural member transferring mechanical forces away from the battery enclosure, secure the battery enclosure to a mount, aid in sealing the battery enclosure, and act as an electrical grounding path for the battery through an enclosure formed of a non-electrically conductive composite material.
