A battery comprises beams dividing a cell module receiving volume into a plurality of compartments and a low-density plastic material. The low-density plastic material comprises an upper part over-molded onto the beams. Each compartment is delimited by an inner surface at least partially defined by the upper part of the low-density plastic material.

A battery module includes: a battery stack that includes a plurality of batteries stacked; a pair of end plates that are disposed at both ends, in stack direction X in which the batteries are stacked, of the battery stack, the pair of end plates including at least one end plate that includes a first portion made of a first metal that has a Young's modulus higher than a Young's modulus of a second metal, and a second portion made of the second metal that has a density lower than a density of the first metal; a restraint member that is made of the first metal and sandwiches the battery stack and the pair of end plates in stack direction X; and a welded portion that connects the first portion of the at least one end plate with the restraint member.

A fastening arrangement includes a tray having an outwardly extending tray flange with a first hole therein, a cover having a generally U-shaped portion and a cover flange extending outward therefrom with a second hole therein. The cover is disposed atop the tray with the generally U-shaped portion disposed in contact with the tray flange and the cover flange disposed a predetermined height above the tray flange with the first and second holes aligned with each other. A spacer having a third hole therethrough is disposed between the tray flange and the cover flange with the third hole aligned with the first and second holes. A fastener arrangement has a shaft extending through the first, second and third holes, a head formed on a first shaft end, a threaded portion on a second shaft end, and a nut engaged with the threaded portion.
