Abstract:
A battery module includes a housing, assembled from a first side wall, a second side wall, a first end plate, and a second end plate, is configured to support a plurality of battery cells. The battery module also includes a heating pad and a cooling plate that are configured to regulate a thermal state of the plurality of battery cell. The heating pad is disposed substantially adjacent to the plurality of battery cells and the cooling plate is disposed adjacent to the heating pad opposite the plurality of battery cells. A controller associated with the battery module is configured receive an indication of battery temperature and active one of the heating pad or the cooling plate based at least on the battery temperature of the plurality of battery cells.
