  • Patent number: 10381615
    Abstract: A battery module comprises an electrochemical cell including a first dielectric layer positioned on a first side of the cell, a first side plate in opposition to the first side, and a first adhesive layer positioned between the first side plate and the first side. The first dielectric layer defines a first window. The first adhesive layer is adhered to the first side plate and the first side through the first window. Another battery module comprises first and second cells, a base plate, a frame, and a first and second adhesive portion. The frame includes a beam positioned between the first cell and the second cell and is in engagement with a first side and a second side of the first and second cells, respectively. The first adhesive portion and the second adhesive portions are positioned between the base plate and the bottom surfaces of the cells.

  • Patent number: 8237400
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a modular battery system having at least one subsystem comprising a plurality of battery modules connected in series or parallel, wherein each subsystem preferably having a first endplate and a second endplate. The battery modules may be bound between the first and second endplates. A plurality of band members couple the first and second endplates to each other and bind the battery module between the endplates. Further, a data collection panel is in electrical communication with each of the battery modules and the data collection panel transmits status information of the modules to a master control module, which converts the electrical into a data transmission through a controller area network (CAN) bus. Status information may include module temperature, module pressure and module voltage, essentially any measurable parameter that may be conducted via an electrical signal. Depending on the needs of a given application, the battery modules may be connected in series or parallel.
