Abstract
A battery assembly 10 including a generally hollow housing 14 and several batteries 12 which are disposed within the interior cavity 16 of the housing 14. Particularly, the batteries 12 reside upon the axis 50 and partition the cavity 16 into a first tapered region 54 and a second expanding portion 56, effective to cause the speed of the air flowing through the cavity 16 to be substantially constant as the air passes the surface of the batteries 12.
