Claim 15:
16. A battery comprising:
a base plate, wherein the base plate defines a plurality of channels configured to receive a heat exchange fluid;
a first circuit board overlying the base plate;
a battery stack overlying the first circuit board and electrically coupled with the first circuit board, wherein the battery stack comprises a plurality of battery cells, each battery cell including:
a planar anode current collector defining a first aperture;
a planar cathode current collector defining a second aperture; and
a planar separator disposed between the planar anode current collector and the planar cathode current collector, the planar separator defining a third aperture;

a second circuit board overlying the battery stack and electrically coupled with the battery stack; and
a retaining member coupling the second circuit board with the base plate, wherein the retaining member extends each of the first, the second, and third apertures of each respective battery cell of the plurality of battery cells.
