BATTERY PACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240322381 titled 'BATTERY PACK
The abstract describes a battery pack that includes battery cells, a bus bar connecting some of the cells, and a cell holder accommodating the cells.
- The bus bar has a cross-section with transverse edges that correspond to upper and lower surfaces and first and second sides.
- The cell holder includes a holding unit that alternates between a covered position and an exposed position along the length of the bus bar.
- The holding unit surrounds four transverse edges of the bus bar in the covered position and three transverse edges in the exposed position.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Energy storage systems - Portable electronic devices
Problems Solved: - Efficiently connecting battery cells - Securing battery cells in place - Managing electrical connections in a battery pack
Benefits: - Improved battery pack design - Enhanced safety and reliability - Simplified assembly and maintenance processes

Original Abstract Submitted
a battery pack includes battery cells, a bus bar on the battery cells and electrically connecting at least some of the battery cells to each other, the bus bar having a cross-section including transverse edges, and the transverse edges corresponding to upper and lower surfaces opposite to each other and first and second sides opposite to each other and connecting the upper and lower surfaces, and a cell holder accommodating the battery cells, the bus bar extending across the cell holder, and the cell holder including a holding unit that defines a covered position and an exposed position alternating along a length of the bus bar, the holding unit surrounding four transverse edges of the bus bar to define the covered position, and surrounding three transverse edges of the bus bar to define the exposed position.
