1. An assembly for sensing voltage produced by a prismatic battery cell within a battery pack made up of a plurality of said battery cells, said assembly comprising:

  • an interconnect board defining a plurality of cell mounting channels thereon;

    a coupling secured to said interconnect board;

    a busbar defining a plurality of individual signal-carrying lines therein, said busbar formed within said interconnect board and cooperative with said coupling to establish signal connection between said coupling and each of said channels through a respective one of said individual signal-carrying lines; and

    a voltage sense circuit signally cooperative with each of said channels and a respective portion of said busbar, each said voltage sense circuit comprising at least one fuse and at least one electrically-conductive line coupled thereto.
