Patent number: 10581043Abstract: A portable electrical energy storage device is provided with a frame that includes a plurality of receptacles for receiving a portion of a portable electrical energy storage cell. A cap is provided over the plurality of receptacles and the portion of the portable electrical energy storage cells received in the frame. In some embodiments, a passageway extends between adjacent receptacles. Disposed within the passageway is a plug which exhibits more resistance to thermal energy migration than other portions of the frame that define the adjacent receptacles.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Gogoro Inc.Inventors: Tai-Tsun Liu, Po-Chang Yeh

Patent number: 9236593Abstract: A battery assembly provided with an adhesive stop mechanism is disclosed. The battery assembly includes multiple battery cells, a primary retaining frame, a secondary retaining frame, two common electrodes and a bonding layer. The primary and second retaining frames are combined together to constitute accommodation chambers for housing the battery cells. The primary retaining frame includes an outer deck and a shallow deck, wherein the outer deck is formed with adhesive application pores and the shallow deck is formed with stop portions corresponding to the adhesive application pores. The adhesive composition applied through the adhesive application pores is confined by the stop portions and subsequently cured into a bonding layer that firmly holds the battery cells within the accommodation chambers.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2015Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Atieva, Inc.Inventors: Chia-Ming Chuang, Tai-Tsun Liu
