Energy Storage Cell Support Separator System for a Multiple Cell Module and Method of Use
First Claim
1. A system for mounting energy storage cell canisters within a multi-cell energy storage module, the energy storage cell canisters having an outer surface, a central longitudinal axis, and opposite ends, comprising:
- a plurality of shaped separator inserts to position and support the energy storage cell canisters, the plurality of shaped separator inserts configured to extend substantially perpendicularly relative to central longitudinal axis of the energy storage cell canisters; and
a plurality of bus bar interconnections to electrically connect the energy storage cell canisters.

Abstract
A system of rigid insulating insert separators for mounting energy storage cell canisters within a sealed module of multiple energy storage cell canisters to maintain the exact position of the energy storage cell canisters to eliminate stress and resistance variation at the point of contact between the bus bar interconnections and the cell terminals. The separators also have provision for mounting balancing circuit boards between the energy storage cell canisters and allowing wiring connections between the circuit boards and the bus bar interconnections.
