STRUCTURAL BATTERY PACK ADHESIVE COATING STACKUP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18151960 titled 'STRUCTURAL BATTERY PACK ADHESIVE COATING STACKUP

The abstract describes a patent application for a battery pack that includes an enclosure with two walls, battery cells inside the enclosure, and two coating and adhesive assemblies to structurally couple and electrically isolate the battery cells with each wall of the enclosure.

• Battery pack with enclosure, battery cells, and coating and adhesive assemblies
• First assembly couples battery cells with first wall of enclosure
• Second assembly couples battery cells with second wall of enclosure
• Both assemblies electrically isolate battery cells from respective walls
• Ensures structural integrity and electrical safety of battery pack

Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Portable electronic devices - Energy storage systems

Problems Solved: - Ensures secure attachment of battery cells within the enclosure - Prevents electrical short circuits between battery cells and enclosure walls

Benefits: - Enhanced safety of battery pack - Improved structural stability - Long-lasting performance of battery cells

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Battery Pack Technology for Enhanced Safety and Performance" This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and renewable energy storage systems. The market implications include increased demand for safer and more reliable battery packs in various industries.

Questions about Battery Pack Technology: 1. How does the first coating and adhesive assembly ensure the structural coupling of battery cells with the first wall of the enclosure? - The first assembly is designed to securely attach the battery cells to the first wall of the enclosure, providing structural stability and electrical isolation. 2. What are the potential risks associated with battery cells not being properly coupled and electrically isolated within the enclosure? - Improper coupling and electrical isolation can lead to safety hazards such as short circuits and overheating.

Original Abstract Submitted

A battery pack includes an enclosure comprising a first wall and a second wall opposing the first wall, battery cells disposed in an interior of the enclosure between the first wall and the second wall, a first coating and adhesive assembly, and a second coating and adhesive assembly. The first coating and adhesive assembly is configured to structurally couple the battery cells with the first wall of the enclosure and electrically isolate the battery cells from the first wall of the enclosure. The second coating and adhesive assembly is configured to structurally coupling the battery cells with the second wall of the enclosure and electrically isolate the battery cells from the second wall of the enclosure.
