Apparatus for mitigating propagation of thermal events between battery cells within a battery module assembly (10) is provided. The apparatus comprises one or more of several features that function to prevent a runaway thermal event within one battery cell (48) from triggering a fire or other thermal event within another battery cell within the battery module assembly (10). The apparatus may comprise one or more of: (i) a compressive wrap (88) applied to a battery cell (48); (ii) a layered barrier material (104) positioned between adjacent battery cells (48); (iii) silicone rubber supports (94) positioned adjacent the battery terminals (62, 64), (iv) a light-weight, fire-resistant housing composite panel, and (v) rupturable diaphragms (36) configured to vent gases and ejecta from a battery cell undergoing a thermal event.

The invention relates to a battery housing (1) for an electrical battery, comprising a basic body (2) which extends in a direction of extent (E) and at least partially delimits a housing interior space (3) on the inside. The battery housing (1) moreover comprises at least one stiffening rib (4), which is shaped integrally on the inside or the outside of the basic body (2) and protrudes from the basic body (2). The stiffening rib (4) of the battery housing (1) runs on the basic body (2) in a rib direction (R) oriented at an angle to the direction of extent (E). In this respect, a body material of the basic body (2) comprises first reinforcing fibres (5), which run substantially in the direction of extent (E) and a rib material of the stiffening rib (4) comprises second reinforcing fibres (6), which run substantially in the rib direction (R).

Devices, such as power tools, outdoor power equipment, lighting devices, test and measurement devices, battery packs, battery pack chargers, power supply devices, modular storage units, etc., include housing structures or other components of the devices made with graphene and/or a graphene polymeric material. The graphene polymeric materials include graphene and a polymer. The graphene polymeric materials are particularly advantageous for electromagnetic shielding purposes. Specific components of the graphene polymeric material may be selected based on their electromagnetic (“EM”) shielding effects (e.g., attenuation, reflection, and/or absorption of radiated emissions) and electrostatic discharge (“ESD”) shielding effects (e.g., dissipation of excess electrical charge and prevention of electrostatic charge accumulation).
