BATTERY ARRAY FRAMES WITH SPLIT THERMAL FIN DESIGNS FOR REDUCING THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIAL USAGE
DRIVE
June 15, 2023
Battery pack designs are provided for use in electrified vehicles. Exemplary battery packs may include a battery array that includes one or more interconnected array frames. A split thermal fin may be held within the one or more array frames. The proposed designs of the split thermal fin enable a reduction of the amount of thermal interface material required between the thermal fin and a support structure (e.g., a heat exchanger plate) of the battery pack.
