Abstract
A battery pack bussing plate, method, and system for providing battery vendor identification capable of surviving a thermal failure event of a battery pack for an information handling system. By receiving a designation of a distinctive current director shape of an extended current director, the extended current director comprising a current director with at least one extension at an angle to a line between a first terminus of the current director and a second terminus of the current director, the distinctive director shape adapted to uniquely identify a battery pack vendor, and transforming sheet metal stock into a battery pack bussing plate, the battery pack bussing plate defining the extended current director, a battery vendor can be identified from a battery pack even after thermal failure of the battery pack.
