Abstract
The present disclosure a battery module having electrochemical cells and a bus bar carrier. The bus bar carrier includes a finger having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and configured to be disposed proximate to a first electrochemical cell of the plurality of electrochemical cells, a thickness extending between the first surface and the second surface, an opening extending through the first surface, through the thickness, and through the second surface, and a cavity disposed adjacent to the opening and exposed through the second surface of the finger. The battery module also includes a lead wire passing through the opening from the first surface of the finger to the second surface of the finger, and a sensor coupled to the lead wire to enable communication between the sensor and the first electrochemical cell, wherein the sensor is disposed in the cavity.
