Abstract

An energy storage system for a military vehicle includes a battery housing defining a lower end and an upper end, a battery disposed within the battery housing, a bracket coupled to the battery housing at or proximate the upper end thereof, a lower support supporting the lower end of the battery housing, and an upper connector extending from the bracket. The upper connector is configured to engage a rear wall of a cab of the military vehicle.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An energy storage system for a military vehicle, the energy storage system comprising:
a battery housing defining a lower end and an upper end;
a battery disposed within the battery housing;
a bracket coupled to the battery housing at or proximate the upper end thereof;
a lower support supporting the lower end of the battery housing; and
an upper connector extending from the bracket, the upper connector configured to engage a rear wall of a cab of the military vehicle.

2. The energy storage system of claim 1 , wherein the upper connector includes at least one of a damper or a rod.

3. The energy storage system of claim 1 , further comprising a plate configured to couple to the rear wall of the cab, wherein the upper connector is coupled to the plate and the bracket.

4. The energy storage system of claim 1 , wherein the upper connector and the bracket are centered with respect to the battery housing.

5. The energy storage system of claim 1 , wherein the bracket is positioned along an upper surface of the battery housing.

6. The energy storage system of claim 1 , further comprising an isolator mount positioned between the lower support and the battery housing.

7. The energy storage system of claim 6 , wherein the isolator mount includes a plurality of isolator mounts spaced about the lower support.

8. The energy storage system of claim 6 , wherein the lower support defines a recess within which the isolator mount is received.

9. An energy storage system for a military vehicle, the energy storage system comprising:
a battery housing;
a battery disposed within the battery housing;
a bracket coupled to the battery housing; and
a connector extending from the bracket, the connector configured to engage a rear wall of a cab of the military vehicle.

10. The energy storage system of claim 9 , further comprising a support coupled to a lower end of the battery housing.

11. The energy storage system of claim 10 , further comprising an isolator mount positioned between the support and the battery housing.

12. The energy storage system of claim 11 , wherein the isolator mount includes a plurality of isolator mounts spaced about the support.

13. The energy storage system of claim 11 , wherein the support defines a recess within which the isolator mount is received.

14. The energy storage system of claim 9 , wherein the connector includes at least one of a damper or a rod.

15. The energy storage system of claim 9 , further comprising a plate configured to couple to the rear wall of the cab, wherein the connector is coupled to the plate and the bracket.

16. The energy storage system of claim 9 , wherein at least one of (a) the connector and the bracket are centered with respect to the battery housing or (b) the bracket is positioned along an upper surface of the battery housing.

17. An energy storage system for a vehicle, the energy storage system comprising:
a battery housing defining a lower end and an upper end;
a battery disposed within the battery housing;
a first support supporting the lower end of the battery housing; and
a second support extending from the battery housing and configured to engage a rear wall of a cab of the vehicle.

18. The energy storage system of claim 17 , wherein the second support includes a first coupler coupled to the battery housing, a second coupler configured to couple to the rear wall of the cab, and a connector extending between the first coupler and the second coupler.

19. The energy storage system of claim 18 , wherein the second coupler is coupled to or proximate the upper end of the battery housing.

20. The energy storage system of claim 18 , wherein the connector includes at least one of a damper or a rod.
