==Original Abstract Submitted==

A battery pack assembly includes a cell stack having a plurality of battery cells distributed along an axis and a plurality of thermal energy transfer assemblies distributed along the axis. Each thermal energy transfer assembly is disposed axially between a first battery cell and a second battery cell. Each thermal energy transfer assembly provides a channel configured to communicate a flow of air between the first battery cell and the second battery cell. A coolant plate assembly is adjacent the cell stack. The coolant plate assembly includes at least one coolant path configured to communicate a liquid coolant.
