Abstract: A flexible thermal insulator for an electric vehicle battery pack includes a first laminated outer layer bounded by a first outer layer periphery and a second laminated outer layer bounded by a second outer layer periphery. The first and second laminated outer layers each include respective first and second outer heat-resistant layers bonded to respective first and second heat-resistant outer coatings. An intermediate layer is sandwiched between the first laminated outer layer and the second laminated outer layer. A first circumferentially continuous, annular spacer is sandwiched between the first laminated outer layer and the intermediate layer to define and bound a first air pocket between the first laminated outer layer and the intermediate layer. A second circumferentially continuous, annular spacer is sandwiched between the second laminated outer layer and the intermediate layer to define and bound a second air pocket between the second laminated outer layer and the intermediate layer.

Abstract: A flexible, insulative battery cover and method of construction thereof are provided. The batter cover includes a flexible, tubular wall circumferentially bounding a cavity extending between a bottom end and a top end. The flexible, tubular wall has a composite outermost layer, a first thermoplastic innermost layer, and a nonwoven intermediate layer. The nonwoven intermediate layer is sandwiched between the composite outermost layer and the first thermoplastic innermost layer. The composite outermost layer includes a reflective outermost thermoplastic layer, a second thermoplastic innermost layer and a metal layer sandwiched between the reflective outermost thermoplastic layer and the second thermoplastic innermost layer.

Abstract: A flexible, wrappable multilayered heat shield is provided. The heat shield includes a reflective metal outermost layer, an innermost layer of high temperature yarn capable of withstanding temperatures up to about 650 degrees ° C. continuously, and about 750° C. intermittently, and an intermediate layer of nonwoven material capable of withstanding temperatures up to about 550° C. continuously sandwiched between the outermost and innermost layers.

Abstract: An insulative nonwoven battery cover and method of construction thereof is provided. The cover includes a plurality of nonwoven sections bonded together to form a desired structural configuration. The nonwoven sections are mats of heat-settable textile fibers and green materials including natural fibers, recycled materials and/or waste stream materials. The mats are formed having a bonded seam of the melted heat-settable textile fibers such that the cover is provided with a circumferentially continuous wall.

Abstract: A flexible one piece, insulative battery cover; battery cover assembly therewith; method of construction thereof, and method of enclosing a battery therewith are provided. The battery cover includes a flexible, tubular textile wall having a cavity extending between a bottom end and an open top end of the wall. The cover further includes a flexible textile lid having a free end and an opposite end attached to the wall via a hinge, with the lid being pivotal via the hinge between an open position, exposing the open top end of the wall, and a closed position, substantially closing off the top end. Further yet, the cover includes a fastener fixed to the lid adjacent the free end, with the fastener being configured to for releasable attachment to an elongate fastener member of the vehicle battery assembly.
