Battery assembly

A battery module includes pressure release features for releasing excess pressure in a battery container, a wrap blanket disposed between a module and potting material disposed in a case to secure modules while allowing repair, replacement, recycling and/or reuse of modules and a connector.

Battery assembly including battery module with wrap blanket between module and encapsulating solution

A battery assembly includes a first cell and a second cell adjacent the first cell. A first insulator and a second insulator extend over and encapsulate first electrode and second electrode. A shell extends over the first and second insulators thereby encapsulating the first and second insulators. A mechanical connection is defined between the first insulator of the fist cell and the second insulator of the second cell.

An active material suitable for use in lithium cells comprises lithium titanate having a surface and a material disposed on the surface is provided. The material is non-reactive with an electrolyte within a range of potential vs. lithium of from 0 V to 4 V. A variety of lithium cells including lithium titanate are also provided. The lithium titanate is typically of the general formula: LiTiO, wherein x is greater than 0. Further, a cell module is provided. The cell module comprises a plurality of lithium cells each having a soft outer packaging and assembled in an environment where water content in the environment is controlled.

A slip ring assembly includes an insulator body with an rotor-facing first side and second, opposing side, and a pair of slip rings. The slip rings are formed to include respective coupling terminals that generally axially extend from the second side of the insulator body. The insulator body further includes a pair of through-bores that are parallel to but radially offset from a main axis of the insulator body, and are configured for routing the rotor winding leads from the rotor-facing side of the insulator body to the second, opposing side. The coupling terminals each comprise a pair of radially inwardly extending legs and a central, axially extending leg. The leads emerge from the through-bores, and are folded over the radially extending legs. The central, axially extending leg is then folded over the lead to mechanically secure the lead end, which is soldered to ensure electrical connectivity.
