Patent ID: 8460815

Claim:
A battery pack assembly comprising: an end frame member having an inner surface for receiving a first battery cell, a first end of the end frame member including a connection terminal for electrically connecting to a first electrically conductive tab of the first battery cell; a first cooling frame member having a first side and a second side, the second side of the cooling frame member arranged adjacent the first battery cell, a second battery cell disposed adjacent the first side of the first cooling frame, a second end of the first cooling frame member including a connection terminal for electrically connecting a second electrically conductive tab of the first battery cell and a first electrically conductive tab of the second battery cell; a spacer frame member having a first surface and a second surface, the second surface of the spacer frame member disposed adjacent the second battery cell, a third battery cell arranged adjacent the first surface of the spacer frame member, a first end of the spacer frame member including a connection terminal for electrically connecting a second electrically conductive tab of the second battery cell and a first electrically conductive tab of the third battery cell; a second cooling frame member having a first side and a second side, the second side of the second cooling frame member disposed adjacent the third battery cell, a fourth battery cell disposed adjacent the first side of the second cooling frame member, a second end of the second cooling frame member including a connection terminal for electrically connecting a second electrically conductive tab of the third battery cell and a first electrically conductive tab of the fourth battery cell; and an end module member having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface of the end module member disposed adjacent the fourth battery cell, a first end of the end module member including a connection terminal for electrically connecting a second electrically conductive tab of the fourth battery cell.
