BATTERY ARRAY END PLATE DESIGNS

Battery array end plate designs are disclosed for use within traction battery packs. An exemplary battery array of the traction battery pack may include features that facilitate a battery array assembly process. These features include channels for accommodating a compression fixture, interlocking features (ribs, bumps, pins, etc.) for engaging corresponding features of an array housing, and angled walls for compressing an upper portion of a cell stack during the battery array assembly process.
