Abstract
A battery module includes a battery module housing, cells disposed in the battery module housing, and spacers disposed between adjacent cells. Each spacer is electrically insulating and includes a body portion having a curvilinear, for example elliptical, outer peripheral shape. The body portion is suspended from the cell housing by hangers, and overlies a central region of a cell housing surface corresponding to large deflection due to cell growth. In addition, the body portion is spaced apart from a periphery of the cell housing surface.
