  • BATTERY PACK THERMAL VENT PROTECTION
    Publication number: 20120244399
    Abstract: A battery pack includes a set of walls made of sturdy material, power interface terminals and battery cells and optionally electronics held within the walls. A spring-loaded check valve installed in a wall of the enclosure fluidly connects an area within the enclosure with an atmosphere outside of the enclosure. The one-way check valve allows pressurized fluids to flow out of the enclosure while preventing pressurized fluids from flowing from the atmosphere into the enclosure.
