At least two compression plates (11) are arranged on opposite sides of said stack and are operable in a cell compression direction (CD) to hold said stack together therebetween. A separation layer (19) is arranged between the stack and the circuit arrangement. A battery cell arrangement from such modules is also provided.

A traction battery pack assembly includes, among other things, first and second pieces of an enclosure having an interior area. An attachment rim is disposed at a periphery of the first piece. The attachment rim has a stand-off that includes a platform portion and turned flange. The platform portion extends outward from the interior area in a first direction. The platform portion provides an aperture. The turned flange extends away from the platform portion in a second direction and terminates at an end face. The second direction is transverse to the first direction. The aperture is configured to receive a fastener that clamps the end face against the second piece.

An electric battery (1) for an electrically or partially electrically driven motor vehicle, movable or stationary unit has a battery housing (5) and a plurality of battery cells (2) arranged therein. According to the invention, the battery housing (5) is made from a material containing silicon and/or calcium and/or rubber and/or silicone to produce such an electric battery (1) with a minimum of economic and technical design effort while ensuring said battery is still highly operationally reliable.

A modular composite battery enclosure containing multiple individual composite structures attached together. The individual composite structures form covers that enclose an open area for housing a battery system of battery cells and cooling devices. The composite battery enclosures are lightweight and made of materials that can function to absorb energy and insulate the battery housing area. The composite structures contain a core material adhered and sandwiched between fiber layers.

In a battery pack, a heat-resistant cap is coupled to an end of a battery block including battery cells positioned at predetermined positions by a battery holder and a circuit board coupled to a first surface and accommodated in an exterior case. Each of the battery cells includes a discharge valve. A heat-resistant cap includes closing plate portion forming first discharge gap between the cap and an end surface of the battery block, and a peripheral wall portion forming a second discharge gap between the peripheral wall portion and the first surface of the battery block. A circuit board forms a ventilation gap between the circuit board and the first surface of the battery block. The ventilation gap communicates with the second discharge gap.
