A battery module includes a plurality of electrochemical cells arranged within the battery module and a thermal management system configured to provide thermal management to the plurality of electrochemical cells. The thermal management system includes a first thermal plate provided adjacent a first side of the battery module and a second thermal plate provided adjacent a second side of the battery module opposite that of the first side of the battery module. The first thermal plate includes a series of fins that extend from a surface of the first thermal plate from the first side of the battery module to the second side of the battery module. The second thermal plate comprises a series of fins that extend from a surface of the second thermal plate from the second side of the battery module to the first side of the battery module.

A battery module having sealed vent chamber includes a plurality of electrochemical cells each having a vent at an end thereof. The module also includes a structure defining a chamber and comprising a plurality of sockets, each socket configured to receive one of the plurality of electrochemical cells such that the vents of the electrochemical cells are located in the chamber. The module further includes a seal provided between at least one of the electrochemical cells and its associated socket. At least a portion of the seal is deformable such that gases released from the electrochemical cells into the chamber compress the deformable portion of the seal against the electrochemical cells to seal the gases in the chamber.

A mandrel for an electrochemical cell includes an elongated hollow tube. At least one drive member is provided at an end of the hollow tube and is configured to receive a driver in order to rotate the mandrel. The drive member is configured to electrically insulate the hollow tube from an electrode that is wound around the hollow tube.
