Abstract:
1. A battery module comprising: a first end wall having a first end wall semi-enclosure and a first end plate, wherein the first end wall semi-enclosure and the first end plate align to form a first flow channel therebetween; a first end wall manifold having a first inlet and a first outlet that are connected to, and in fluid communication with, the first flow channel such that a first fluid portion flows from the first inlet through the first flow channel and then through the first outlet; a second end wall having a second end wall semi-enclosure and a second end plate, wherein the second end wall semi-enclosure and the second end plate form a second flow channel therebetween; a second end wall manifold having a second inlet and a second outlet that are connected to, and in fluid communication with, the second flow channel such that a second fluid portion flows from the second inlet through the second flow channel and then through the second outlet; and at least one stacking segment aligned between the first and second end walls, the at least one stacking segment including: a dual sided segment with an external side configured, along with the first end wall, to define at least in part a first plurality of compartments when positioned in opposition to the first end wall; and a semi-enclosure wall configured, along with the second end wall, to define at least in part a second plurality of compartments when positioned in opposition to the second end wall, wherein the semi-enclosure wall and an internal side of the dual sided segment align to form at least one stacking segment flow channel therebetween, and wherein each of the at least one stacking segments further comprises:
