  • STRAPS FOR SUPPORTING A BATTERY PACK
    Publication number: 20250273788
    Abstract: A battery pack may include one or more structural members, with at least some of the structural members coupled with one or more straps. The straps are designed and positioned to support the structural members. For example, in the event of an applied force to the battery pack, the applied force may cause the straps to bend. However, the straps may be pulled in tension as a result, and provide a counterforce. The counterforce provided by the straps may provide the structural members assembly with added resistance to withstand the impact from the applied force.
