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.
