A battery pack assembly or enclosure comprises one or more batteries having an electrochemical cell and an enclosure having at least an outer wall configured to create a sealed volume of space substantially around the batteries. An atmosphere of the volume of space comprises gas having a thermal conductivity less than 0.018 watts per meter per degree Celsius. This atmosphere of gas provides an insulative layer between the outer wall of the enclosure and the batteries. With this insulative layer, the battery pack assembly can be subjected to autoclaving without damaging the batteries. The battery pack assembly can be used to power surgical tools or other devices that are subjected to autoclaving.

A system includes a cell support having a first opening defined therethrough. The first opening is configured to have a first battery cell positioned at least partially therein. The system also includes a first insulator positioned at least partially within the first opening and at least partially around the first battery cell. The first insulator comprises a first solid diamond-like carbon insert that fills a first gap between the first battery cell and the first opening.
