Abstract: A force measurement module for determining of a force when installing a battery module into a battery housing includes a housing having a shape and external dimensions substantially of the battery module and at least one force sensor arranged in the housing. The at least one force sensor is configured to determine a force when installing the housing into the battery housing. Furthermore, a method for determining a force when installing a battery module into a battery housing is provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multifunction carrier for accommodating circuit components of a battery system for an electric vehicle, the multifunction carrier including: a bus bar assembly having at least a charging terminal bar and a drive terminal bar; and an insulating housing in which the power rail assembly is embedded, wherein the insulating housing has openings exposing contact surfaces of the terminal rails, and wherein the insulating housing has connectors configured to make pluggable mechanical and electrical contact between the circuit components of the battery system and the opened contact surfaces of the terminal rails. The present disclosure further relates to a high voltage contactor for a battery system of an electric vehicle.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a thermal interface in a battery includes providing of at least one battery module and at least one receiving structure, with a receiving region featuring a heat-transmission surface to accommodate a side of the battery module, measuring of the receiving region and/or the side of the battery module. The method further includes determining, based on the measuring, a size and shape of a gap that forms between the heat-transmission surface and the side of the battery module. Additionally, the method includes determining of a dosage specification for a heat-conducting material for filling of the gap, applying of the heat-conducting material onto the heat-transmission surface and/or to the side of the battery module according to the determined dosage specification, and installing the battery module in the intended installation position by compressing of the applied heat-conducting material.
