Abstract:
An energy storage device including a staggered energy storage cell internal array with two-dimensional inline terminal edges is provided. The energy storage cells in a battery module may be staggered in an internal array, such that a first row of cells in a line are spaced apart, or offset, in a first direction from an immediately adjacent second row of cells in a line, and wherein a first cell in the second row of cells is offset from a first cell in the first row of cells in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. In some cases, at least two adjacent rows in the battery module may include energy storage cells that are offset from one another but aligned in one direction, such as, the second direction. A mechanical frame may define the arrangement of the energy storage cells relative to one another.

Claim (Index 1):
A battery module, comprising:\n an array of battery cells arranged in a battery cell distribution pattern comprising a two-dimensional pattern, the two-dimensional pattern comprising:\n a first row including a plurality of battery cell positions equispaced substantially in a first spacing along a first linear path extending in a first direction, the first row defining an outermost position for battery cells in the array of battery cells disposed along a first outer edge of the battery module; \n a second row offset a first distance from the first row in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the second row includes a plurality of battery cell positions equispaced substantially in the first spacing along a second linear path extending in the first direction, wherein each of the plurality of battery cell positions in the second row are perpendicularly inline with each of the plurality of battery cell positions in the first row; and \n a staggered third row offset a second distance from the second row in the second direction, wherein the second distance is less than the first distance, wherein the staggered third row includes a plurality of battery cell positions equispaced substantially in the first spacing along a third linear path extending in the first direction, wherein the plurality of battery cell positions in the staggered third row are offset in the first direction relative to the plurality of battery cell positions in the first and second rows such that the battery cell positions in the staggered third row are not inline with the plurality of battery cell positions in the first and second rows.
