Abstract
A battery system includes a battery frame, a battery module, and a polymeric seat. The battery frame includes a horizontal bottom plate and a plurality of members that extend in a vertical direction from the bottom plate. The battery module includes at least one battery cell enclosed inside body of the battery module. The battery module also includes an attachment surface fixedly attached to the body and one or more supports that extend downward from to the body. The attachment surface is fixedly attached to one or more of plurality of members to generate a force on the one or more supports in a direction of the bottom plate. The polymeric seat is fixedly attached to either the one or more supports or the battery frame and removably contacts the other of the one or more supports or the battery frame. The polymeric seat is compressed in response to the force.
