Abstract

This disclosure relates to a battery arrangement for an electrified vehicle. In particular, the battery arrangement includes modules which are configured to move relative to one another in a transverse direction. For instance, an example battery arrangement includes a guide, and first and second battery modules. The guide is arranged at least partially between adjacent surfaces of the battery module housings and is configured to permit the first and second battery modules to slide relative to one another in a transverse direction of the electrified vehicle.
