摘要: A system includes a battery pack having a first sub-pack and a second sub-pack, the first sub-pack having a first cell group and a second cell group, and the second sub-pack having a third cell group. A cooling system supplies a liquid coolant to a heat exchanger that is in thermal communication with the battery pack. A first section, a second section, and a third section of the heat exchanger are arranged sequentially in a flow direction of the liquid coolant between the coolant inlet and the coolant outlet, with the first section of positioned adjacent to the first cell group of the first sub-pack, the second section positioned adjacent to the third cell group of the second sub-pack, and the third section positioned adjacent to the second cell group of the first sub-pack.

摘要: A battery pack includes an enclosure comprising a first wall and a second wall opposing the first wall, battery cells disposed in an interior of the enclosure between the first wall and the second wall, a first coating and adhesive assembly, and a second coating and adhesive assembly. The first coating and adhesive assembly is configured to structurally couple the battery cells with the first wall of the enclosure and electrically isolate the battery cells from the first wall of the enclosure. The second coating and adhesive assembly is configured to structurally coupling the battery cells with the second wall of the enclosure and electrically isolate the battery cells from the second wall of the enclosure.
