Abstract

In an embodiment, an energy storage system includes a battery module mounting area with a plurality of battery module compartments, each of the battery module compartments configured to house a respective battery module, and a venting arrangement configured to define a set of air channels that permits pressure equalization between the plurality of battery module compartments and an external environment. The venting arrangement is configured with an air-permeable, liquid-tight seal at least between (i) the plurality of battery module compartments and (ii) the external environment.
