Claim:
1. A system for heat dissipation in a battery, comprising: a rechargeable battery system that generates heat as a result of electrochemical processes relating to storage of electrical energy in the rechargeable battery system and extraction of electrical energy from the rechargeable battery system; a plurality of heat transfer elements in communication with the rechargeable battery system and configured to receive heat from the rechargeable battery system, the plurality of heat transfer elements in communication with a first contact surface; a cooling system in communication with the plurality of heat transfer elements, the cooling system in communication with a second contact surface; a thermal interface material disposed between a first contact surface and the second contact surface, the thermal interface material comprising a plurality of strands of thermally conductive material woven into a pattern such that each of the plurality of strands has a length that extends perpendicular to the first contact surface and the second contact surface; wherein the thermal interface material is configured to conform to the first contact surface and the second contact surface by deformation of the length of at least a portion of the strands and thereby increase transference of heat between the first contact surface and the second contact surface.
