Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The battery cell design includes a battery cell component comprises a current conducting element, that includes at least a portion that is hollow, further component is configured to be located within a battery cell. Another embodiment of the component comprises a first element that defines a first fluid path therein; and a second element that defines a second fluid path, wherein the two fluid paths are in communication with each other, further wherein the battery cell component is configured to conduct electric current. A battery cell and battery cell assembly that uses the component, and a method of cooling a battery assembly is also disclosed. The present invention has been described in terms of specific embodiment(s), and it is recognized that equivalents, alternatives, and modifications, aside from those expressly stated, are possible and within the scope of the appending claims.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A battery pack assembly comprising: a plurality of sodium based battery cells in electrical communication, wherein each of the plurality of sodium based battery cells comprise: an anode; a cathode in communication with the anode; and a current collector, wherein a first portion of the current collector is hollow, thereby defining a first fluid path therein and a second portion of the current collector is hollow, thereby defining a second fluid path therein,…
