Original Abstract Submitted

A battery pack assembly for an electrified vehicle includes a first battery cell, a second battery cell and a first spacer disposed intermediate the first and second battery cells. The first spacer includes a first layer of material disposed between a first and second backing plate. The first layer of material defines a plurality of passages formed therein having a first geometric shape. The first layer of material is formed of a first polymer. A first plurality of filler members are disposed within the respective plurality of passages and define a second geometric shape. The plurality of filler members are formed of a second polymer.
