A battery module, comprising: - a housing; and - a plurality of prismatic battery cells disposed in the housing, wherein each prismatic battery cell of the plurality of prismatic battery cells comprises a casing housing electrochemically active components of the prismatic battery cell, and a cover assembly secured to the casing and comprising a cover, a terminal (48, 50) protruding through the cover, a current collector (82, 83) electrically coupled to the terminal (48, 50), and an overcharge protection assembly disposed between the terminal (48, 50) and the current collector (82, 83); wherein the overcharge protection assembly comprises a spiral disk and a vent disk physically and electrically coupled to the spiral disk, wherein the vent disk is disposed between the spiral disk and the terminal (48, 50) and comprises a concave structure forming a cavity between the vent disk and the terminal (48, 50) by the concave structure of the vent disk, wherein the vent disk is electrically coupled to the current collector (82, 83) via the spiral disk, wherein the vent disk is configured to deform into the cavity and break when a pressure within the casing exceeds a threshold value, wherein the spiral disk is configured to apply a shearing force to the vent disk when the vent disk deforms into the cavity to facilitate the breakage of the vent disk and thereby interrupt electrical current flow between the current collector (82, 83) and the terminal (48, 50), wherein the vent disk comprises a circular groove, wherein the groove comprises a score in the vent disk, a thinner area of the vent disk, or a combination thereof, wherein the vent disk is configured to break along the groove when a tensile force is applied to the vent disk resulting from the pressure within the casing exceeding the threshold value and the shearing force is applied to the vent disk, and wherein the spiral disk comprises one or more slits configured to rotate the spiral disk when an overcharge event occurs and the pressure within the casing exceeds the threshold value creating the shearing force. - a housing;
