A battery stack includes cells that are arranged in a row and bound together. Each of the cells includes a case and an electrode body accommodated in the case. The cells include multiple types of position variation cells, in which positions of electrode bodies of the cells are different from each other when the cells are viewed in an arrangement direction of the cells.

A traction battery cell assembly including a battery cell and a cell case is provided. The cell case defines a cavity sized for receiving the battery cell and includes an inner wall, an outer wall, and a plurality of support chambers disposed between the inner wall and the outer wall. Each of the support chambers defines a polygon having multiple sides. The sides are arranged with one another to define an agent cavity to house neutralizing agent. The plurality of support chambers is arranged with the inner wall and the outer wall such that an impact to one of the walls causes a puncture to one of the sides of the support chambers releasing the neutralizing agent. Each of the support chambers may include five or more sides and adjacent sides may define an angle therebetween greater than ninety degrees.

A battery pack includes a housing and electrochemical cells disposed in the housing. The housing includes a container and a lid that closes an open end of the container. The container has a base, an outer wall the surrounds the base, and a first and a second inner wall disposed inside the outer wall. The first inner wall extends between, and is fixed to, a first portion and a third portion of the outer wall, and is spaced apart from a second portion and a fourth portion of the outer wall. The second inner wall extends between the first portion and the third portion, and is disposed between the first inner wall and the fourth portion. The second inner wall is movable relative to the outer wall such that spacing of the second inner wall from the first inner wall can be changed.

A lightweight battery housing for an automobile and method of assembling same. The lightweight battery housing comprises an upper cover, a tub, and a protection frame whereon the upper cover and lower tub sit. The upper cover and tub may comprise at least one of a steel material, an aluminum material, and/or a fiber-reinforced composite. The protection frame comprises at least one of steel material and aluminum material. The tub includes pockets for holding battery modules and seals against the cover to provide a leak-resistant battery holder. Fasteners connect the tub, cover, and protection frame and a seal is placed between the tub and the cover. The cover and other components of the battery housing may be integrated directly into a body-in-white of the vehicle.

Disclosed is a battery transporting apparatus including a frame member for supporting a battery cell; a pair of electrode lead support members movably mounted to the frame member to be adjustable in a length direction of the battery cell among length, width and thickness directions of the battery cell and for supporting electrode leads of the battery cell, respectively; a lengthwise rotary shaft coupled to the frame member; and a lengthwise moving member coupled to the pair of electrode lead support members and coupled to the lengthwise rotary shaft, the lengthwise moving member moves along the lengthwise rotary shaft when the lengthwise rotary shaft rotates so that the pair of electrode lead support members are moved.
