CELL CARRIER AND VENT TRAY ARRANGEMENT FOR A HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY

A cell carrier and vent tray arrangement for high-voltage batteries includes a cell vent tray having a vent tray body having first and second tray ribs extending outward from a top surface of the vent tray body, wherein the tray ribs run along a longitudinal direction and include one or more notches formed in one or both of the tray ribs, and a cell carrier having a carrier body with a plurality of vent holes formed therethrough and a carrier rib extending outward from a bottom surface of the carrier body, wherein the carrier rib runs along the longitudinal direction and includes one or more cross-members extending in the transverse direction. The cell vent tray and cell carrier are configured for engagement with each other in an assembled configuration with the carrier rib being disposed between the first and second tray ribs and the cross-members being seated within the notches.
