Abstract: Battery systems according to embodiments of the present technology may include a battery cell having an electrode tab extending from an edge of the battery cell. The systems may also include a module electrically coupled with the battery cell. The module may be characterized by a first surface, a height, and a second surface opposite the first surface. A conductive tab coupled along the first surface of the module may extend from a first end parallel to a plane of the first surface. The conductive tab may be characterized by a curvature proximate a midpoint of the conductive tab. A distal region of the conductive tab may return back across the first surface of the module substantially parallel to the first surface. A distal portion of the electrode tab may be fixedly coupled with the distal region of the conductive tab.

Abstract: A flexible busbar comprises a first busbar layer including a first plurality of busbar segments and a first bend between first busbar segments of the first plurality of busbar segments and a second busbar layer coupled to the first busbar layer. The second busbar layer includes a second plurality of busbar segments and a second bend between second busbar segments of the second plurality of busbar segments. The first plurality of busbar segments is substantially colinear with the second plurality of busbar segments and the second bend is substantially parallel with the first bend.

Abstract: Battery systems according to embodiments of the present technology may include a battery including a first electrode terminal and a second electrode terminal accessible along a first surface of the battery. The battery systems may also include a module electrically coupled with the battery. The module may include a first mold extending toward the battery. The first mold may define a recess along a first surface of the first mold proximate the first electrode terminal and the second electrode terminal. The module may include a first conductive tab electrically coupling the module with the first electrode terminal. The first electrode terminal may be at least partially positioned within a space defined by the recess defined by the first mold.

Abstract: A battery includes an enclosure, a battery management unit (BMU), a conductive trace including conductive particles disposed on a surface of the enclosure and electrically coupled with the BMU to form a closed-loop electrical path. The BMU is configured to detect a resistance in the closed-loop electrical path caused by a percolation of the conductive particles, and determine a swollen condition of the battery based on the resistance.

Abstract: A battery pack is disclosed. The battery pack includes a cell with a spacer, and a cap mounted on the spacer. The spacer and cap are mated to form a cavity to accommodate the components (i.e. busbars, circuit board, an insulator) of the battery pack. The spacer and cap have a series of mating surfaces for the components, wherein the mating surfaces have different heights to be recessed relative to each other to create spaces for accommodating the components. The recesses, channels, steps and raised portions correspond in geometry to the components so that they can be assembled while removing the tolerance accumulation associated with multiple standoffs.
