SYSTEM FOR COOLING A TRACTION BATTERY IN THE EVENT OF THERMAL RUNAWAY

A system for cooling a traction battery of a motor vehicle has a charging port. The traction battery has at least one power connector fixed to a surface. At least one electric cable connects the charging port to the power connector. The system further includes a first plurality of cells arranged around the charging port, a conduit arranged around the electric cable and in fluidic communication with the first plurality of cells, a second plurality of cells arranged in the aforementioned surface, around the power connector, and in fluidic communication with the conduit. The first and second pluralities of cells and the conduit are intended to receive a cooling fluid in the event of thermal runaway of the traction battery.
