Original Abstract Submitted
a carrier may include a base with several cell bores, with each cell bore designed to carry a battery cell. the carrier may include several walls, with each wall having one or more surfaces that conform to a shape or surface of the battery cell. for example, a surface of the wall may include an arc with a shape that corresponds to that of a cylindrical battery cell. one of the walls may include opposing surfaces, each of which conform to the shape of multiple battery cells. also, each cell bore may include a ledge to seat a battery. additionally, a carrier may include several ribs that provide a vent or channel to direct a gas. in addition to battery cells, carriers may also carry cooling tubes designed to cool the battery cells.
