Claim:
1. A battery pack, comprising: a battery module having a first battery cell, a housing, and a first solid cooling fin; the housing configured to hold the first battery cell therein; the first solid cooling fin having first and second panel portions, the first panel portion of the first solid cooling fin being disposed directly against the first battery cell, an end portion of the first panel portion of the first solid cooling fin extending through a first aperture in the housing, the second panel portion of the first solid cooling fin being disposed on an outer surface of the housing and being coupled to the end portion of the first panel portion of the first solid cooling fin; a thermoelectric heat pump having a first side and a second side, the first side being disposed against the second panel portion of the first solid cooling fin; the second side being disposed against a cooling manifold; the cooling manifold defining an interior region receiving a coolant therethrough; and the thermoelectric heat pump transfers heat energy from the first solid cooling fin to the cooling manifold in response to a first electrical current flowing through the thermoelectric heat pump in a first direction, to reduce a temperature level of the first battery cell.
