Patent number: 11888180Abstract: Provided are multilayered flexible battery interconnects for interconnecting batteries in battery packs and methods of fabricating thereof. A multilayered flexible battery interconnect comprises insulating layers and two conductive layers, stacked together and positioned between the insulating layers. One conductive layer is thicker than the other. The thinner conductive layer comprises flexible tabs for connecting to batteries and, in some examples, comprises voltage sense traces. The smaller thickness of these flexible tabs ensures welding quality and allows using less energy during welding. The battery cell contacts, to which these flexible tabs are welded, can be significantly thicker. Furthermore, the smaller thickness enables fusible link integration into flexible tabs. At the same time, the two conductive layers collectively conduct current within the interconnect, with the thicker layer enhancing the overall current-carrying capacity.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2023Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: CelLink CorporationInventors: Will Findlay, Mark Terlaak, Kevin Michael Coakley, Malcolm Parker Brown, Emily Hernandez
