Abstract: A sensing system for a battery includes a flex foil substrate including a first cover layer. A conductive layer defines a trace pattern including traces. A second cover layer defines a first opening. The conductive layer is sandwiched between the first cover layer and the second cover layer. The first opening exposes a first trace and a second trace of the trace pattern. A busbar is attached to the first cover layer of the flex foil substrate. A temperature sensor is connected to the first trace and the second trace of the trace pattern in the first opening of the first cover layer.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a dual conductor laminated substrate includes providing a first laminate including a first insulating layer and a first conductive layer; defining a first trace pattern including one or more traces in the first laminate; providing a second laminate including a second insulating layer and a second conductive layer; defining a second trace pattern including one or more traces in the second laminate; defining access holes in the second insulating layer; at least one of depositing and stenciling a conductive material in the access holes of the second insulating layer; and aligning and attaching the first laminate to the second laminate to create a laminated substrate.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a double-sided, single conductor laminate includes providing a laminated substrate that includes a conductive layer, an adhesive layer and a support layer; dry milling a trace pattern in the laminated substrate by removing selected areas of the conductive layer and the adhesive layer; and attaching a first cover layer using a first adhesive layer to the conductive layer. The first cover layer includes one or more precut access holes that align with one or more traces of the trace pattern.
