Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure is a battery cell module including a frame that defines a plurality of cell chambers and that supports a contact strap, and a plurality of battery cells that are supported in the cell chambers. The contact strap includes a plurality of contacts that are spaced along each of the cell chambers. The battery cells each include a positive terminal a first end, a second end that defines a negative terminal, and a cylindrical sidewall that electrically communicates the negative terminal. The plurality of contacts of the contact strap contacts the cylindrical sidewalls of the battery cells.
