A UV curable dielectric coating is described. The curable coating can include one of more acrylate monomers, a urethane prepolymer, a crosslinker, at least one adhesion promoter, a photoinitiator, and optionally one or more fillers and/or additives. The coating can be used to insulate battery cells and battery packs, such as those used in electric vehicles. The coatings can be easily applied and quickly cured. The cured coatings can have high adhesion strength, even after exposure to wet conditions.

A battery enclosure and method for manufacturing the same from organosheet materials. The battery enclosure includes a top cover with crossbeams integrated therein by overmolding that secures to a bottom panel to enclose a space for containing components of a battery. The bottom panel includes overmolded structural ribs to provide strength and rigidity to the bottom panel. An outer cover removably secure the top cover to the bottom panel and includes a honeycomb structure to crush upon impact and protect the battery components. The method comprises forming each of the components of the battery enclosure from a mixture of organosheets, reinforcing members, and overmolded elements to reduce the weight and complexity of manufacturing for the battery enclosure.

Thermal regulation device intended for at least one electrical component whose temperature must be regulated, the thermal regulation device including at last a housing, a cover affixed to said housing and a first circuit, configured to allow circulation of a dielectric fluid. The housing includes at least a plurality of lateral walls delimiting an internal volume of the housing in which at least the electrical component extends. The first circuit includes at least one dielectric fluid supply duct formed between the housing and the lid, at least one of the lateral walls and/or the bottom wall having at least one orifice for spraying the dielectric fluid into the internal volume, which is fluidically connected at least to the supply duct.

A battery enclosure for a vehicle chassis having a base member with raised surface features on the upper surface outlining individual cells, each cell configured to receive at least one battery; a cover member having a plurality of depending surface features on the lower surface which are aligned with the surface features of the base member. The cover member includes a channel formed in the upper surface thereof, aligned with and extending along a length of the depending surface feature disposed on the bottom surface. A lattice support structure is also included which has a plurality of support members extending axially and transversely, wherein the lattice support structure is configured to be at least partially disposed within the channel of the cover member and mounted to the vehicle chassis. The lattice support member providing increased rigidity and a load distribution path for externally applied forces (e.g. crash events) to prevent or inhibit enclosure breakage or puncture.
