11. A buss bar for connecting electrochemical cells together comprising:
-
a conductive member having a first end, a second end, and an elongated body between the first end and second end, the body comprising a stress relief region configured to allow the conductive member to flex so that the conductive member resists decoupling from connected electrochemical cells; and a cover provided in contact with the conductive member to at least partially electrically insulate the buss bar. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A battery system that includes a stress-relieving buss bar comprising:
-
a conductive member electrically coupled to a terminal of a first battery and a terminal of a second battery, the conductive member comprising a stress relief feature configured to reduce the tendency of the conductive member to decouple from the terminals of the first battery and second battery; and a voltage sense terminal provided on the conductive member. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
