Abstract
A busbar holder with two busbar trays maintains positive and negative busbars separate and insulated from each other to reduce the chance of accidental short circuits. Cells are located in a frame onto which the busbar holder is mounted. One busbar is located in a bottom tray of the busbar holder. Legs of the busbar project down through holes in the bottom tray, for connection to one set of terminals of the cells. A top tray is placed over the bottom tray. Another busbar, in the top tray, is connected through holes in both trays to the other set of terminals of the cells. The busbar in the bottom tray is covered by the top tray. Holes through the busbar holder allow for hot gases to escape in the event of cell failure.
