Claim 10:
11. A method of manufacturing a battery pack for use in an electric aircraft, wherein the method comprising:
assembling a plurality of pouch cells, each pouch cell comprising a pair of electrodes, an insulator layer, a pouch, an electrolyte, a pair of foil tabs, and a seal, wherein assembling the respective pouch cell comprises:
locating an insulator layer between the pair of electrodes;
electrically connecting the pair of foil tabs with the pair of electrodes; obtaining the electrolyte within the pouch cell;
substantially surrounding, using the pouch, the pair of electrodes, the electrolyte and the insulator layer; and
sealing, using a seal, the pair of foil tabs, wherein the seal is configured to prevent a flow of cell ejecta from a thermal runaway; and

locating an insulative barrier between a first pouch cell of the plurality of pouch cells and a second pouch cell of the plurality of pouch cells, wherein the insulative barrier prevents a heat transfer between the first pouch cell and an extraneous element, the extraneous element including at least the second pouch cell.
