1. A battery module, comprising:
- a housing having a non-conductive oil disposed therein;
a battery cell disposed in the housing; and
a cooling manifold disposed in the housing that contacts the non-conductive oil, the cooling manifold configured to receive a fluid therethrough and to conduct heat energy from the non-conductive oil into the fluid to cool the battery cell.
