EXPANDABLE ENCLOSURES FOR PRISMATIC AND CYLINDRICAL BATTERY CELLS
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18470813 titled 'EXPANDABLE ENCLOSURES FOR PRISMATIC AND CYLINDRICAL BATTERY CELLS
Original Abstract Submitted
An enclosure for a prismatic battery cell include first side surfaces, second side surfaces connected between the first side surfaces, a top surface connected between the first side surfaces and the second side surfaces, and a bottom surface connected between the first side surfaces and the second side surfaces. The first side surfaces, the second side surfaces, the top surface and the bottom surface are configured to receive a battery cell stack. The second side surfaces, the top surface and the bottom surface expand/contract to allow guided expansion/contraction of the enclosure in a first direction while limiting expansion in second and third directions transverse to the first direction.
