A battery pack includes a battery pack housing that is sealed and flooded with a dielectric fluid. In addition, the battery pack includes a battery module that is disposed in the battery pack housing, and a vent block that is disposed on the lid and communicates with an interior space of the battery pack housing. The vent block is configured to permit the battery pack to accommodate volume changes of the dielectric fluid within the battery pack housing.

Battery pack with a pressure management system

A method includes: generating a first age factor value for a battery based on: a cycle period of the battery; a required operational life of the battery; and a cycle life of the battery. The method further includes generating a second age factor value for the battery based on: the required operational life; and a resting life of the battery. The method further includes generating a third age factor value for the battery based on: the required operational life; the first age factor value; the second age factor value; and at least one of an expected period of cycling of the battery during the required operational life and expected period of resting of the battery during the required operational life. The method further includes: generating an expected life of the battery based on the required operational life and the third age factor value; and displaying the expected life.
