Abstract
Fluid cooled electric vehicle battery systems are disclosed. Systems can include an integrated coolant manifold and bus bar configured to carry coolant and electrical current along a common or coaxial path. An integrated coolant manifold and bus bar can include a conductive layer surrounding a coolant flow path and/or a conductor disposed within a coolant flow path. Integrated coolant manifold and bus bar structures may improve efficient use of battery space by reducing the number of battery components and by allowing reduced bus bar size due to fluid cooling of the bus bar.
