Abstract: A battery pack assembly includes a housing, a battery cell assembly, and a fan. The housing having a plurality of sides and defining an internal cavity. The battery cell assembly positioned in the internal cavity. The battery cell assembly includes a plurality of battery cells and a frame supporting the battery cells. The frame includes a first support member, a second support member, and a plurality of leg members connecting the first support member and the second support member. The first support member and the second support member each has a body extending between a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge. The body defines a plurality of openings configured to align with one of the battery cells. The fan is configured to circulate air within the housing and through the battery cell assembly.

Abstract: A mobile power source that has a battery pack including at least two battery cell assemblies each having frame that has a first support member and a second support member, each of the first and second support members including a plurality of cylindrical recesses that receive the plurality of battery cells to support the battery cells. Bus bars are coupled to the first support member via injection molding and each is configured to electrically connect to at least two battery cells. The bus bars each include an elongated conductive body that has a base and fingers extending laterally away from the base. Each of the fingers extend within a first plane, and the base extends within a second plane that is parallel to the first plane and offset therefrom.

Abstract: A power supply includes a core housing having a first housing portion and a second housing portion together forming a cavity. The first housing portion is separable from the second housing portion to access the cavity. A battery core includes a plurality of battery cells received within the cavity. The plurality of battery cells are divided into a first group of interconnected battery cells and a second group of battery interconnected cells. The battery core also includes a conductor mechanically and electrically connecting a first terminal of the first group of interconnected battery cells and a second terminal of the second group of interconnected battery cells thereby connecting the first group of interconnected battery cells in series with the second group of interconnected battery cells. The conductor is disconnected from the first terminal or the second terminal when the first housing portion is separated from the second housing portion.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a portable power supply comprising a housing having a plurality of sides defining an internal cavity. The portable power supply further includes a battery cell assembly positioned in the internal cavity. The battery cell assembly includes a frame and a plurality of battery cells arranged in the frame. Each of the battery cells includes a cathode end, an anode end opposite the cathode end, and a body extending between the cathode end and the anode end. A thermistor is disposed on a respective battery cell of the plurality of battery cells. The thermistor is located nearer to the anode end than to the cathode end of the battery cell.
