BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240014490 titled 'BATTERY PACK

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a battery pack assembly that includes a housing, a battery cell assembly, and a fan. The housing has multiple sides and an internal cavity. The battery cell assembly is positioned inside the internal cavity and consists of multiple battery cells and a frame that supports them. The frame includes a first support member, a second support member, and multiple leg members that connect the first and second support members. The first and second support members have a body with openings that align with the battery cells. The fan is designed to circulate air within the housing and through the battery cell assembly.
