  • Publication number: 20250118852
    Abstract: Battery arrays are provided for traction battery packs. An exemplary battery array may include a first cell stack subassembly including a first split dividing wall member, and a second cell stack subassembly including a second split dividing wall member. The first split dividing wall member and the second split dividing wall member cooperate to establish a dividing wall assembly between the first cell stack subassembly and the second cell stack subassembly. The dividing wall assembly can function to both provide the necessary tensile structure for maintaining battery cell compression and thermally isolate the adjacent cell stack subassemblies from one another.
