  "textContent": "A combined vehicle frame assembly and battery for a vehicle includes a plurality of structural members that are joined together to form a vehicle frame assembly, such as a ladder frame or space frame assembly. One of the plurality of structural members is formed as a closed channel structural member defining a hollow interior. A battery is disposed within the interior of the hollow structural member. Preferably, the structural member is formed in such a manner as to support and retain the battery therein to prevent relative movement during operation of the vehicle. The battery can be composed of either a single battery or a plurality of separate battery cells that are electrically connected together to provide electrical energy to the electrical system of the vehicle.",
