BATTERY MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240332700 titled 'BATTERY MODULE
The battery module described in the patent application consists of multiple battery cells, each containing an electrode stack housed in an exterior body and a tab lead connected to the electrode stack and extending from the exterior body. The module also includes a pair of end plates that hold the battery cells in place, with the end plates positioned at both ends of the electrode stacks in the stacking direction. The tab lead is electrically connected to the tab lead of an adjacent battery cell, with a first extension extending orthogonally to the stacking direction and a second extension extending towards the adjacent cell.
- The battery module comprises multiple battery cells with electrode stacks and tab leads.
- End plates are used to secure the battery cells in place.
- Tab leads are connected to adjacent cells and have extensions in different directions.
- The design allows for efficient electrical connection and secure stacking of battery cells.
- This innovation improves the overall performance and reliability of battery modules.
