    Abstract: Battery systems according to embodiments of the present technology may include a battery. The battery may include a first electrode terminal and a second electrode terminal accessible along a first surface of the battery. The systems may include a module electrically coupled with the battery. The module may include a circuit board characterized by a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The module may include a mold extending from the first surface of the circuit board toward the battery. The module may include a first conductive tab electrically coupling the module with the first electrode terminal. The module may include a second conductive tab electrically coupling the module with the second electrode terminal. The second conductive tab may extend across the mold substantially parallel to the first surface of the circuit board.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve various battery can designs. In general, the battery can design includes two fitted surfaces oriented opposite each other and seam welded together to form an enclosure in which a battery stack is located. To form the enclosure, the two fitted surfaces are welded together along the large perimeter. Other swelling-resisting advantages may also be achieved utilizing the battery can design described herein including, but not limited to, the ability to modify one or more can wall thicknesses to control a pressure applied to the battery stack by the can, overall reduction in wall thickness of the can through the use of stronger materials for the can surfaces, additional supports structures included within the can design, and/or bossing or other localized thinning of surfaces of the can.

    Abstract: Electrical feedthroughs are presented that are integrated within a wall of a battery housing. In some embodiments, an electrical feedthrough includes a battery housing defining an opening. The electrical feedthrough also includes a collar disposed around the opening and forming a single body with the wall. The electrical feedthrough also includes an electrically-conductive terminal disposed through the collar. The electrical feedthrough additionally includes an electrically-insulating material disposed between the collar and the electrically-conductive terminal and forming a seal therebetween. In some embodiments, the wall has a thickness equal to or less than 1 mm. In some embodiments, the collar protrudes into the battery housing. In other embodiments, the collar protrudes out of the battery housing. In some embodiments, a cross-sectional area of the electrically-conductive terminal is at least 40% of an area bounded by an outer perimeter of the collar. Batteries incorporating the electrical feedthroughs are also presented.

    Abstract translation: 介绍集成在电池外壳壁上的电馈通。 在一些实施例中,电馈通包括限定开口的电池壳体。 电馈通还包括设置在开口周围并与壁形成单体的套环。 电馈通还包括穿过轴环设置的导电端子。 电馈通还包括设置在轴环和导电端子之间并在其间形成密封的电绝缘材料。 在一些实施例中,壁具有等于或小于1mm的厚度。 在一些实施例中,套环突出到电池壳体中。 在其他实施例中,轴环突出于电池壳体之外。 在一些实施例中,导电端子的横截面面积是由轴环的外周边界定的面积的至少40%。 还提供了包含电气馈通的电池。

    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to an electrical feedthrough for a cylindrical battery cell. The electrical feedthrough may include an annular channel having an outer sidewall, an inner sidewall, and a base; an insulator formed of glass having an overmold portion; and a pin extending through the insulator and configured to form an external battery terminal. The insulator is bonded to the inner sidewall of the annular channel and a portion of the base of the annular channel. The overmold portion prevents electrical contact between a set of electrodes and the electrode feedthrough.
