Abstract
A battery box for a hybrid or electric vehicle, the battery box including a pair of longitudinal walls and a pair of lateral walls that cooperate with a drop-in floor to define an interior compartment of the battery box for holding one or more batteries. The battery box includes corner junctions where the lateral walls are attached to the longitudinal walls and further includes corner shields that are placed over the corner junctions. The corner shields are externally mounted outside of the interior compartment and provide fluid tight sealing over the corner junctions. The longitudinal and lateral walls are made of dual phase steel. The corner shields have complex corners and are therefore made of draw steel.
