The embodiments disclose a swappable battery system for electrified vehicles includes a rigid frame formed from metal or composite materials and configured for mounting on the vehicle roof. A rooftop cover encloses at least a portion of the frame, and a fire-retardant hard plastic plate forms the insulated floor. At least two openable side panels allow access to the compartment. Integrated front, rear, and side ventilation sections feature motorized louvers that regulate airflow and internal temperature. A plurality of swappable low voltage battery modules are removably installed within the frame and provide power to the vehicle's electric motor and battery control systems. A main battery management system is operatively coupled to the battery modules and configured to monitor voltage, temperature, charge state, and operational parameters. The system extends vehicle range by enabling fast battery replacement and maintaining safe, efficient energy delivery and thermal regulation during operation.
