BATTERY ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18142285 titled 'BATTERY ASSEMBLY
Simplified Explanation
The battery assembly described in the patent application includes a battery module stack, a cover portion, and a substrate portion. The cover portion is coupled to a side of the battery module stack, while the substrate portion is coupled to an external surface of the cover portion. The cover portion consists of a cover member and a protrusion member that protrudes outward and contacts the internal surface of the substrate portion. The substrate portion has an overlapping region that overlaps the protrusion member, a through-hole passing through the overlapping region, and a pad region with electrically conductive properties surrounding the through-hole.
