    Abstract: Devices and methods for preparing a slurry for coating onto a substrate. The devices and methods of the present disclosure relate to providing a slurry in a closed volume with at least one passage. The slurry includes a solvent, a powder, and a binder. The slurry can also include a dispersion agent. The slurry is forced repeatedly under high pressure through the at least one passage in a first flow direction and then back through the at least one passage in a second flow direction, opposite the first flow direction. The forcing homogenously disperses the powder and the binder within the solvent. Both sides of the substrate are then coated simultaneously with the slurry extruded from the closed volume after the forcing. Curing of the coated slurry includes freeze drying to preserve the porosity of the slurry on the substrate.

    Abstract: A battery pack system convertible among a series configuration, a parallel configuration, or both. The battery pack system includes a base component case having a housing configured to receive therein multiple batteries, and an expansion component case or a cap secured to the base component by a twist-and-lock feature. The battery pack system includes a positive conductor and a negative conductor running along an elongated interior of the base component case, and an insert composed of a dielectric and having a positive terminal and a negative terminal. The insert is configured to be inserted between adjacent batteries such that the positive terminal electrically connects to the positive conductor and the negative terminal electrically connects to the negative conductor to form a parallel-electrical connection between an adjacent battery pair, and such that, without the insert, an adjacent battery pair forms a series-electrical connection therebetween.
