Abstract
A battery pack having a first battery cell, a first cooling fin, and a housing is provided. The first cooling fin has a rectangular-shaped sheet, and at least first, second, and third tabs disposed perpendicular to first and second major surfaces of the first battery cell. A first side of the rectangular-shaped sheet of the first cooling fin contacts the first major surface of the first battery cell. The first battery cell and the first cooling fin are disposed within an interior region of the housing. The housing has a first flow path within the interior region between a top edge of the first battery cell and a top wall of the housing, such that air flowing through the first flow path contacts the first, second, and third tabs of the first cooling fin to conduct heat energy away from the first cooling fin to reduce a temperature level of the first battery cell.
