Claim 9:
10. A container of an energy-storage system having parallel cooling comprising:
a plurality of module housings, each module comprising two half module housings coupled together, each half module housing is configured to receive a plurality of cylindrical cells mounted parallel to a horizontal axis, each cell having an anode terminal and a cathode terminal being disposed at one end, the half module housing further including:
a current carrier electrically coupled to the cells, the cathode terminal of each of the cells being coupled to a respective first contact of the current carrier, the anode terminal of each of the cells being coupled to a respective second contact of the current carrier; the current carrier including a plurality of fuses each electrically coupled to the respective first contact;
a retainer element disposed substantially parallel to the current carrier and configured to mount the cells horizontally within each half module housing; and
an enclosure having the current carrier and the retainer element disposed therein;
a tray having the plurality of module housings disposed therein, the tray including:
a positive bus bar; and
a negative bus bar, the positive and negative bus bars being separately electrically coupled to power connectors associated with the plurality of module housings; and

a coolant system for circulating liquid coolant flowing into the tray across the plurality of module housings and battery cells in parallel such that each of the module housings and each of the cells is at approximately the same predetermined temperature,
wherein the enclosure further comprises a coolant sub-system which provides submerged, distributed cooling to the cells by receiving the liquid coolant from the coolant system at an intermediate location between the two half module housings and circulating the liquid coolant along two opposing directions parallel to the horizontal axis to distribute the coolant among and between the cells.
