A cell carrier for a battery module, a battery module, and a method for assembling a battery module. The battery module includes a plurality of pairs of battery cells and the cell carrier. The cell carrier includes a plurality of recesses, each including a first recess portion including a first sidewall portion and a first bottom portion, and a second recess portion including a second sidewall portion and a second bottom portion. The first bottom portion and the second bottom portion of each recess include a shared cutout. For each pair of battery cells, a first end of a first battery cell is coupled to the first recess portion and a first end of a second battery cell is coupled to the second recess portion of a respective recess.

Battery module cell carrier and method of assembly

An electrically conductive member can include a first opening and a second opening. The first opening of the electrically conductive member can engage a first member of a cell carrier to at least partially align the electrically conductive member with the cell carrier. The second opening of the electrically conductive member can engage with a second member of the cell carrier for coupling the electrically conductive member with the cell carrier.
