TOUCH PADS FOR MODULES PROTECTION IN HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY

A battery pack assembly for an electrified vehicle includes a main body assembly, a top cover and a first spacer. The main body assembly houses a plurality of battery modules therein, the plurality of battery modules having cell supervisory circuits. The top cover is coupled to the main body assembly, the top cover having an interior surface that faces the plurality of battery modules. The first spacer is disposed on the interior surface of the top cover and occupies a space generally between the top cover and at least one battery module of the plurality of battery modules. The first spacer is configured to engage a battery module of the plurality of battery modules during an impact event that deforms the top cover toward the battery modules.
