Abstract: A traction battery pack venting assembly includes an enclosure, at least one cell stack within the enclosure, a cross-member assembly within the enclosure, and a valve assembly that opens to provide a vent path from the at least one cell stack to a passageway of the cross-member assembly. A method of establishing a vent path within a traction battery pack includes, within a battery pack enclosure, using a valve assembly to block an opening to a passageway provided by a cross-member assembly; and in response to at least one battery cell within the battery pack enclosure venting, opening the valve assembly to permit flow through the opening to the passageway.

Abstract: A cordless, rechargeable, fish scaler assembly is provided. The scaler has a substantially cylindrical main body with a handle portion and a scaler portion. The scaler portion includes a scale guard which is rigidly connected to the handle portion and a plurality of longitudinally extending blades supported by a shall which is rotatably connected to the handle portion. The blades are partially enclosed within a cylindrical housing which operates to create a hollow space about the shaft thereby enhancing buoyancy of the scaler. The handle portion contains a rechargeable battery pack and also has a hollow portion to enhance buoyancy. The assembly includes at least two types of battery charging systems.
