ELECTRICAL CONNECTION UNIT FOR HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY PACKS
An electrical connection unit for a battery pack includes a busbar having a first hole therein, a top surface and a bottom surface, an annular bushing having a top end abutting the bottom surface, a bottom end opposed to the top end and a bore hole therein registered with the first hole, a busbar cage secured to the busbar and retaining the annular bushing in abutment with the busbar, the busbar cage having a cavity therein above the top surface, and a fastener having a head portion captured within the cavity and a shank portion extending through the first hole. The annular bushing may include one or more indents formed on an outer surface thereof, and the busbar cage may include a plurality of fingers extending along the outer surface and interfacing with the one or more indents. Each finger may include a protrusion configured to rest within an indent.
BATTERY CONNECTOR
A connector assembly for electrically connecting poles of two adjacent battery cell. The connector assembly comprises an electrically conductive bus bar having a first connection area and a second connection area distal from each other, electrically conductive pole-mating components having a pole-mating face and a bar-mating face, and fastening components for attaching the electrically conductive bus bar and one of the pole-mating components to one of the poles of the two adjacent battery cells. The pole-mating faces of the pole-mating components are adapted for mating the poles the battery cells. The bar-mating faces of the pole-mating components are adapted for mating with the connection areas. The bar-mating faces and the connection areas have complementary concave/convex arched shape for optimizing contact surface over a range of relative positioning of the two adjacent battery cells.

TERMINAL COVER
This terminal cover 1 comprises: a terminal protector 10 that has an opening 11 open to the upper side; an electric wire protection part 20 provided continuously behind the terminal protector 10; and a lid 30 that is coupled to a front end of the electric wire protection part 20 via a hinge 26 and can open and close the opening 11 from above. A locking wall 22 having a locking boss 23 is provided on the upper surface 21 of the electric wire protection part 20 to extend upward. In a closed state in which the opening 11 is closed, the lid 30 comprises: a protrusion part 32 protruding upward from the upper surface 21 of the electric wire protection part 20; and a surrounding part 33 provided continuously below the protrusion part 32 and spread outward from the protrusion part 32. The protrusion part 32 is provided with a locking part 35, the locking wall 22 abuts on the protrusion part 32, the locking boss 23 and the locking part 35 are locked, and thus the lid 30 is held in an open state in which the opening 31 is open. In the open state, the locking wall 22 covers the locking part 35 so as not to be exposed to the outside, and the surrounding part 33 covers the locking boss 23 so as not to be exposed to the outside.
