Abstract
Assemblies and methods are provided for manufacturing a battery. A number of cells each have tabs for coupling the cell in the battery assembly. A housing has an opening through which each tab extends. The tabs are folded to overlie an outer surface of the housing. A bus bar is disposed on an opposite side of the tabs from the housing, with a coupling joint between the bus bar and the cells. The coupling joint may comprise a weld.
