Abstract
This disclosure relates to a battery assembly with a plate having a compression limiting feature, and a corresponding electrified vehicle and method. An example battery assembly includes a wall having an inner surface and an outer surface. The wall also has a central opening. The battery assembly further includes a plate abutting the outer surface of the wall and covering the central opening. The plate also includes a main body and a post projecting from the main body toward the inner surface of the wall. Among other benefits, this arrangement limits compression of the wall and increases the ease of mounting components, such as electrical or fluid connectors, to the battery assembly.
