Abstract

A battery module and a related method are provided. The module includes battery cells having electrical terminals extending from battery portions. The module further includes an interconnect board having apertures for receiving the electrical terminals therethrough, and an elastomeric layer having apertures extending therethrough. The elastomeric layer is disposed proximate to the interconnect board such that the electrical terminals extend through the apertures of the interconnect board and further extend through the apertures of the elastomeric layer. The module further includes a potting compound disposed on the elastomeric layer such that the layer prevents the potting compound from contacting the battery portions.

First claim

I claim:

1. A battery module, comprising:
a plurality of battery cells having electrical terminals extending from battery portions;
an interconnect board having a circuit board with plurality of apertures extending therethrough for receiving the electrical terminals therethrough, the interconnect board further having a plurality of electrically conductive interconnect members coupled to and extending from the circuit board, at least one electrically conductive interconnect memb…
