Abstract: Aspects of a modular clip for an electric battery, a battery module comprising multiple of such modular clips, and a battery pack comprising multiple battery modules are provided. The modular clip is configured to receive a plurality of battery cells and includes a base portion and a first and second wall extending from the base portion along a length of the modular clip. The plurality of battery cells may be received between the first wall and the second wall of the modular clip. A plurality of openings may be formed in the base portion of the modular clip, each opening being configured to extend around a bottom vent of a battery cell. Channels may also be formed in the base portion and/or base plate that are configured to enable heat or gas escaping from the bottom vent of the battery cell to vent away from an interior of the modular clip.

Abstract: Aspects of a modular clip for an electric battery module, a battery module comprising multiple such modular clips, and a battery pack comprising multiple battery modules are provided. The modular clip includes a housing configured to receive a plurality of battery cells. The modular clip may further comprise at least one interconnect plate. The modular clip may further comprise a retainer plate including a plurality of top cell recesses, each of the plurality of top cell recesses may comprise an opening to enable wire bonds between electrical terminals of a battery cell and the at least one interconnect plate. The battery module may comprise a plurality of wire bonds between at least one voltage sensing PCB and the at least one interconnect plate.

Abstract: Aspects of a modular clip for an electric battery module, a battery module comprising multiple such modular clips, and a battery pack comprising multiple battery modules are provided. The modular clip includes a housing configured to receive a plurality of battery cells. The housing includes a clip shell. The clip shell includes a base portion, a first wall, and a second wall. The base portion includes a plurality of bottom cell recesses, where each of the plurality of bottom cell recesses is configured to receive a battery cell. The modular clip may further comprise at least one interconnect plate. The modular clip may further comprise a retainer plate including a plurality of top cell recesses, where the plurality of top cell recesses are aligned corresponding to an alignment of the plurality of bottom cell recesses.

Abstract: Aspects of a modular clip for an electric battery, a battery module comprising multiple such modular clips, and a battery pack comprising multiple battery modules are provided. The modular clip includes a housing configured to receive a plurality of battery cells. The housing includes a base portion and a first and second wall extending from the base portion of the housing along a length of the housing, wherein the plurality of battery cells are received between the first wall and the second wall. The first and/or second wall forms a cooling path along the length of the housing, e.g., a gap maintained between the plurality of cells and the first/second wall. The battery module may include a regulator and duct to direct/control air flow to the cooling path in each of the modular clips comprised in a battery module.
