Abstract
There is provided a battery system having a plurality of battery modules having joined top, bottom and side surfaces. The battery modules are connected for providing a power source. Each of the plurality of battery modules includes a vent having a discharge outlet. The vent includes a portion that extends outward from a side of the battery module. A gas manifold having a gas discharge tube extending from a first end to a second end includes a plurality of tubular ports positioned between the first and second ends of the gas discharge tube. The plurality of tubular ports extend radially outward from the gas discharge tube and are coupled to each of the vents of the plurality of battery modules.
