Abstract
A cell holder made up of a top tray, an intermediate tray and a frame. Cells are placed with minimal force in the frame to stand proud of it. The intermediate tray is placed over the projecting tops of the cells and serves to locate the cells. A busbar in the intermediate tray is connected to one set of terminals. A top tray is placed over the intermediate tray and snap-locked through the intermediate tray to the frame. The snap-lock distance is short. A busbar in the top tray is connected to the other set of terminals. The top tray shields the first busbar. Vents may be included to allow for the escape of hot cell gases in the event of failure.
