Abstract
A battery pack retention assembly includes, among other things, a conforming bracket that secures a battery array within a battery pack. The conforming bracket includes platforms that flexes as the conforming bracket is secured. The flexing facilitates aligning an area of the conforming bracket with a thermal exchange plate. A battery pack retention method includes, among other things, flexing a conforming bracket to reduce a gap between the battery array and a thermal exchange plate. The flexing occurs when securing a battery array to within a battery pack.
