  • APPARATUS FOR MITIGATION OF THERMAL EVENT PROPAGATION FOR BATTERY SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20220181742
    Abstract: Apparatus for mitigating propagation of thermal events between battery cells within a battery module assembly (10) is provided. The apparatus comprises one or more of several features that function to prevent a runaway thermal event within one battery cell (48) from triggering a fire or other thermal event within another battery cell within the battery module assembly (10). The apparatus may comprise one or more of: (i) a compressive wrap (88) applied to a battery cell (48); (ii) a layered barrier material (104) positioned between adjacent battery cells (48); (iii) silicone rubber supports (94) positioned adjacent the battery terminals (62, 64), (iv) a light-weight, fire-resistant housing composite panel, and (v) rupturable diaphragms (36) configured to vent gases and ejecta from a battery cell undergoing a thermal event.
    Type: Application
