An energy storage system includes a pair of rack frames spaced apart from each other and arranged side by side; a plurality of L brackets fastened to the rack frames; a plurality of battery modules respectively placed on a pair of L brackets facing each other to form a plurality of layers along a longitudinal direction of the rack frame; a first heat transfer member interposed between the battery module and the L bracket; and a second heat transfer member interposed between the rack frame and the L bracket.

This disclosure details exemplary battery pack designs for use in electrified vehicles. Exemplary battery packs may include a battery array that includes one or more interconnected array frames. A split thermal fin may be held within the one or more array frames. The proposed designs of the split thermal fin enable a reduction of the amount of thermal interface material required between the thermal fin and a support structure (e.g., a heat exchanger plate) of the battery pack.
