A flexible, insulative battery cover and method of construction thereof are provided. The batter cover includes a flexible, tubular wall circumferentially bounding a cavity extending between a bottom end and a top end. The flexible, tubular wall has a composite outermost layer, a first thermoplastic innermost layer, and a nonwoven intermediate layer. The nonwoven intermediate layer is sandwiched between the composite outermost layer and the first thermoplastic innermost layer. The composite outermost layer includes a reflective outermost thermoplastic layer, a second thermoplastic innermost layer and a metal layer sandwiched between the reflective outermost thermoplastic layer and the second thermoplastic innermost layer.

Battery cover and method of construction thereof

A flexible, wrappable multilayered heat shield is provided. The heat shield includes a reflective metal outermost layer, an innermost layer of high temperature yarn capable of withstanding temperatures up to about 650 degrees &#xb0; C. continuously, and about 750&#xb0; C. intermittently, and an intermediate layer of nonwoven material capable of withstanding temperatures up to about 550&#xb0; C. continuously sandwiched between the outermost and innermost layers.

Wrappable multi-layer heat shield

An insulative nonwoven battery cover and method of construction thereof is provided. The cover includes a plurality of nonwoven sections bonded together to form a desired structural configuration. The nonwoven sections are mats of heat-settable textile fibers and green materials including natural fibers, recycled materials and/or waste stream materials. The mats are formed having a bonded seam of the melted heat-settable textile fibers such that the cover is provided with a circumferentially continuous wall.

Flexible green nonwoven battery cover and method of construction thereof

A flexible one piece, insulative battery cover; battery cover assembly therewith; method of construction thereof, and method of enclosing a battery therewith are provided. The battery cover includes a flexible, tubular textile wall having a cavity extending between a bottom end and an open top end of the wall. The cover further includes a flexible textile lid having a free end and an opposite end attached to the wall via a hinge, with the lid being pivotal via the hinge between an open position, exposing the open top end of the wall, and a closed position, substantially closing off the top end. Further yet, the cover includes a fastener fixed to the lid adjacent the free end, with the fastener being configured to for releasable attachment to an elongate fastener member of the vehicle battery assembly.

Flexible battery cover with integral lid, method of construction thereof, and method of enclosing a battery therewith
