Original Abstract Submitted
A battery system includes an array of cells and an insulating plate. The array of cells is arranged in first and second subsets of cells. The first and second subsets of cells define a space therebetween. The insulating plate has a central region disposed within the space. The insulating plate has first and second lateral regions disposed external to the space and extending beyond first and second opposing lateral ends of the array of cells, respectively. The central region has a first dimension extending in a first direction between the first and second subsets of cells. The first and second lateral regions have second and third dimensions, respectively, extending in a second direction. The second direction is substantially parallel to the first direction. The second and third dimensions are greater than the first dimension.
