Abstract: A battery module (13) includes a housing (31) having an interior defined by multiple sides, one side of which is a lid (55). The battery module also includes lithium ion electrochemical cells (30) disposed in the housing, each cell having a vent (60) through which gases may be vented. Moreover, the battery module includes a first chamber (64) defined by interior aspects of the housing that receives vented gases directed in a first direction (62) from the electrochemical cells. The first chamber is configured to direct the vented gases in a second direction (68) so that said vented gases then arrive in a second chamber (78) defined partially by the lid (55). Such a configuration of a vent structure helps to mitigate the negative impacts of vented gases from electrochemical cells being released inside a battery module.
