  • Patent number: 8828576
    Abstract: A battery cell assembly includes a battery cell including active material configured to generate power from an electrochemical reaction. A pouch formed from insulating material envelopes the battery cell. The battery cell assembly further includes a cooling element having an internal portion and an external portion. The internal portion is disposed within the pouch and is in thermal communication with the battery cell. The external portion is disposed outside of the pouch. The cooling element is configured to transfer heat generated during the electrochemical reaction away from the battery cell.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120021270
    Abstract: A battery cell assembly includes a main body configured to generate power from an electrochemical reaction. The main body has a first end and a second end, a first side and a second side, and a first major surface and a second major surface. A pair of electrical tabs extends outwardly at the first end of the main body. An insulating element is disposed adjacent the first major surface of the main body. A cooling element is disposed adjacent the second major surface of the main body. The cooling element includes at least one cooling passage. The at least one cooling passage is in heat exchange relationship with the main body and configured to transfer heat generated during the electrochemical reaction away from the main body.
