BATTERY SYSTEM WITH MEASURES AGAINST PARTICLE DEPOSITION ON CRITICAL SECTIONS DURING THERMAL RUNAWAY

The present disclosure refers to a battery module being equipped with a protection means that provides for a protection of the spaces at the ends of the battery module, which are typically used for accommodating high voltage interfaces and other electric wirings prone to short circuits and arcing upon particle deposition in the case of a thermal runaway, from debris generated during a thermal event. Further, the present disclosure relates to a battery system employing one or more of the afore-mentioned battery modules. Also, the disclosure is related to a vehicle comprising at least one battery module according to the disclosure and/or at least one battery system according to the disclosure
