First Claim
Patent Images
1. A battery system comprising:
- a plurality of prismatic battery cells including;
a first cell having a first terminal extending from the first cell; and
a second cell having a second terminal extending from the second cell; and
a heat exchange member located between the first and second cells, the heat exchange member including;
a first planar surface in direct contact with the first cell;
a second surface opposite the first surface; and
a heat exchange passageway formed between the first and second surfaces.
