BATTERY CELL ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING THE BATTERY CELL ASSEMBLY
First Claim
1. A battery cell assembly, comprising:
- a first battery cell having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
a first panel member configured to contact at least a portion of the first side of the first battery cell; and
a heat exchanger having a plastic frame and first and second thermally conductive layers, the plastic frame having an interior space extending therethrough, the plastic frame having a third side and a fourth side opposite the third side, the first thermally conductive layer being disposed on the third side of the plastic frame and covering the interior space, the second thermally conductive layer being disposed on the fourth side of the plastic frame and covering the interior space, the first thermally conductive layer being disposed adjacent the second side of the first battery cell, such that when a liquid is disposed in the interior space, heat energy is transferred from the first battery cell through the first thermally conductive layer to the liquid.

Abstract
A battery cell assembly and a method for assembling the battery cell assembly are provided. The battery cell assembly includes first and second battery cells with a heat exchanger disposed between the first and second battery cells. The heat exchanger has a plastic frame and first and second thermally conductive layers. The plastic frame has an interior space extending therethrough. The first and second thermally conductive layers are disposed on opposite sides of the plastic frame to enclose the interior space, such that when a liquid is disposed in the interior space, heat energy is transferred from the first battery cell through the first thermally conductive layer to the liquid.
