Abstract
This disclosure details exemplary battery pack designs, such as those designed for use within electrified vehicles. Exemplary battery packs may include an enclosure assembly and a plurality of battery arrays housed inside the enclosure assembly. The enclosure assembly may include a mid-tray that is configured for supporting, cooling/heating, and sealing second tier battery arrays. The configuration of the mid-tray allows coolant joints to be eliminated inside of the battery pack.
