BATTERY COOLER SUPPORT ARCHITECTURE

A battery cooler assembly having a frame with a pair of opposed parallel walls, with each wall having a ledge extending outwardly from the wall. A heat exchanger positioned between the walls, and having a plate pair together defining a fluid flow channel permitting fluid flow from an inlet to an outlet on the heat exchanger. One or more battery modules positioned on the heat exchanger. A plurality of support structures engage the heat exchanger and positioned between the walls; and extend from a first edge to a second end of the heat exchanger, where the first edge is proximate to one of the walls and the second edge is proximate to the other wall. The plurality of support structures engaging the one or more battery modules reducing stress on the heat exchanger.
