Abstract

A system for reducing the likelihood of a battery short during a collision of a vehicle includes a metallic structure coupled to a portion of the vehicle. The system further includes a battery located proximate to the metallic structure and having a positive terminal. The system further includes an insulator coupled to the metallic structure such that it is located between the metallic structure and the positive terminal of the battery and configured to resist contact between the metallic structure and the positive terminal of the battery in response to the collision of the vehicle.
